Radiographic and LU examination pre-surfactant administration and after 24–48 h of life. Top: chest X-ray and LU examination after birth pre-surfactant administration. 1-A Chest X-ray shows poorly inflated lungs with ground glass shadowing widespread in both hemithorax with obliteration of cardiac silhouette. 1-B and 1-C LU examinations in longitudinal and oblique view, respectively, show irregularity of the pleural line (white arrows), subpleural consolidation and widespread appearance of “white lung” on both lung fields without spared areas. Bottom: chest X-ray and LU examinations performed after 24–48 h of life. 2-A chest X-ray shows increased interstitial infiltrate. 2-B and 2-C LU examinations in oblique view, show severe deterioration of lung aeration, presence of multiple bilateral consolidations (blue arrows), air bronchograms, and coalescent B-lines without spared areas
