    Background:

    • Respiratory insufficiency is a common complication in critically ill neonates, stemming from various causes.
    • Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial for improving infant outcomes.
    • Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is a key diagnostic tool.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of neonatal pulmonary function testing.
    • To discuss the indications, benefits, and applications of PFT in neonates.
    • To highlight the role of nurses in PFT data acquisition and interpretation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current literature and clinical practices in neonatal respiratory care.
    • Discussion of advancements in computer-assisted technology and equipment miniaturization for bedside PFT.

  • Description of general testing approaches, initial profiles, and evaluations for different infant conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Modern technology facilitates simple, reproducible, and rapid bedside PFT for neonates.
    • PFT can effectively diagnose, quantify, and qualify respiratory dysfunction.
    • Test indications and benefits are tailored to infant's gestational age, age, and clinical status.

    Conclusions:

    • Pulmonary function testing is essential for managing respiratory insufficiency in critically ill neonates.
    • Bedside PFT, supported by technological advances, offers valuable diagnostic and prognostic information.
    • Intensive care nurses play a vital role in ensuring data accuracy and influencing patient care plans based on PFT results.
