Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the correlation between respiratory system reactance, as assessed by respiratory oscillometry, and respiratory outcomes in preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation. The main question it aims to answer is if the reactance z-score at 7 postnatal days adds to relevant clinical factors in the prediction of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Participants will receive respiratory oscillometry measurements at 7 ± 2 postnatal days.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Respiratory system reactance (Xrs) at the clinical positive end-expiratory pressure
Time Frame: Xrs will be measured at 7 days of life
Xrs will be expressed in z-score using reference equation for very preterm infants
Secondary Outcomes
- Respiratory system reactance (Xrs) at the clinical positive end-expiratory pressure and ± 2 cmH2O(Xrs will be measured at 7 days of life)
