The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether lung ultrasound can predict extubation success in neonates with respiratory distress. Participants will undergo a lung ultrasound pre- and post-extubation.

Ability of lung ultrasound score to predict extubation success
Correlate the lung ultrasound score to the success of extubation, which is defined as remaining extubated for \>72 hours. Ultrasound scores are measured on a 4-point scale (0=normal,3 = most abnormal).
Time frame: 12 hours pre-extubation to 24 hours post extubation
Change in pre- and post-extubation lung ultrasound scores
Ultrasound scores are measured on a 4-point scale (0=normal,3 = most abnormal).
Time frame: 12 hours pre-extubation to 24 hours post extubation
Time to re-intubation
Length of time from extubation to re-intubation.
Time frame: Up to 72 hours post-intubation
Change in heart rate
Measure of heart rate before and after ultrasound procedure
Time frame: 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after lung ultrasound
Change in respiratory rate
Measure of respiratory rate before and after ultrasound procedure
Time frame: 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after lung ultrasound
Change in oxygen saturation
Measure of oxygen saturation before and after ultrasound procedure
Time frame: 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after lung ultrasound
