ABSTRACT Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a common respiratory system disorder experienced by neonates. One of the risk factors for RDS if mother has gestational diabetes mellitus (DMG) during pregnancy. Even so, research data currently available in this regard still contradictory. This study intended to provide description characteristics variables related incidence and DMG so that it ex...

OBJECTIVES To ascertain the immediate outcome of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) on Bubble CPAP and identify risk factors associated with its failure. STUDY DESIGN Prospective analytical study. SUBJECTS Inborn preterm infants (gestation 28 to 34 weeks) admitted to the NICU with respiratory distress and chest X ray suggestive of RDS. INTERVENTION Bubble CPAP with b...

background: preterm labor is at risk for respiratory distress syndrome (rds) and sometimes requires to mechanical ventilation (mv) and surfactant therapy. continuous positive airway pressure (cpap) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (ncpap) are the methods of respiratory support especially for using in rds of neonates. in other method surfactant is administered to babies via tracheal...

Background: Humidified heated high flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC), nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP), and nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) are three nasal non-invasive ventilation methods. The purpose of this study was to compare these three methods in decreasing intubation and mechanical ventilation rate in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrom...

BACKGROUND Late preterm infants (34-36 weeks' gestation) remain a population at risk for apnea of prematurity (AOP). As infants affected by respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) have immature lungs, they might also have immature control of breathing. Our hypothesis is that an association exists between RDS and AOP in late preterm infants. OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this study was to ass...

Albeit the aetiology of the respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is well known, the paper shall demonstrate that the causes of RDS changed over the years 2006 and 2010. This retrospective study comprises analysis of the data collected from 60 newborns of over 32 weeks gestation with RDS in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Clinical Hospital Centre in Osijek. The focus of the paper lies in ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) due to pulmonary surfactant deficiency is heritable, but common variants do not fully explain disease heritability. METHODS Using next-generation, pooled sequencing of race-stratified DNA samples from infants ≥34 weeks' gestation with and without RDS (n = 513) and from a Missouri population-based cohort (n = 1066), we scann...
