Background And Objective: Respiratory distress is the most common cause requiring neonatal intensive care unit admission. As respiratory and cardiac functions are closely interrelated, some cardiac dysfunction is expected in respiratory distress. The myocardial performance index (MPI) is an index to assess global myocardial function, easily measurable by bedside echocardiography and reliable.

- - The study aimed to create a mathematical formula to predict the optimal depth for spinal needle insertion based on neonates' gestation age and weight.
- - Researchers examined 127 neonates, using ultrasound to measure spinal canal depth, and found that both weight and post-menstrual age positively influenced spinal dimensions.
- - A strong correlation was identified between weight and spinal canal depth, leading to the formula MSCD (cm) = 0.2 × weight in kg + 0.45, which could help improve needle placement accuracy and reduce the risk of trauma during lumbar punctures.
