Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), also known as "Hyaline membrane disease", is caused by the deficiency of lung surfactant in a pre-term infant due to the immaturity of the lungs. The risk of RDS is inversely related to the gestational age, and, most commonly occurs in infants less than 28 weeks of gestational age. Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome is associated with high morbidity and ...

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the leading cause of neonatal respiratory distress in our country and is the commonest disorder requiring assisted ventilation all over the world(l,2), Exogenous surfactant administration is now an established mode of therapy in neonatal RDS (hyaline membrane disease, HMD). Ever since the first report of successful surfactant replacement therapy in neonate...

Background Neonatal respiratory distress is one the most common problems in the first few day of neonatal life. The present study intended to determine the frequency of the causes and outcomes of respiratory distress in neonates hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Hamadan city, Iran. Materials and Methods In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, all the neonates wi...

Introduction: The aim of study was to compare umbilical cord blood selenium levels in respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and non RDS preterm babies.    Methods: Umbilical cord blood selenium levels of all preterm newborn born during a 6-month period were enrolled in the study. They were divided into two groups: RDS and non RDS. Selenium level was assessed by using electro-thermal atomic ab...

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is due to deficiency of surfactant and commonly occurs in preterm babies. We report the first confirmed case in Northern Ireland of ABCA3 transporter deficiency which is a rare but important cause of RDS in term babies.A 38 week gestation female infant developed respiratory distress at four hours of age. Chest radiography was consistent with RDS. The baby req...

background:respiratory distress syndrome is the most common respiratory disease in premature neonate and the most important cause of death among them. we aimed to investigate factors to predict successful or failure of insure method as a therapeutic method of rds.methods:in a cohort study,45 neonates with diagnosed rds and birth weight lower than 1500g were included and they underwent insure fo...

Surfactant protein B (SP-B) deficiency has become increasingly recognized as a cause of severe prolonged respiratory distress. However, little has been reported with regard to the genetic variability of SP-B in Chinese infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). One case of a Chinese male infant with neonatal RDS was analyzed for clinical manifestation and genetic variability of ...
