Savage, M. O., Wilkinson, A. R., Baum, J. D., Roberton, N. R. C. (1975). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 50, 709. Frusemide in respiratory distress syndrome. The effect of frusemide on urinary volume, urinary sodium excretion, and urinary calcium excretion in 7 premature infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) has been studied. The results are compared with similar measurement...

Respiratory distress in newborn infants is common immediately after birth and is transient in most cases. However, when it persists, diagnostic procedures to determine the etiology and therapy are required to resolve the underlying problem. There are three common disorders that cause respiratory distress after birth: transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) ...

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...

In preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), the application of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is associated with benefits in terms of reduced respiratory failure and reduced mortality. We conducted this prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of bubble-CPAP as primary mode of respiratory support. Bubble CPAP was found to be safe and effective means of treati...

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 one of the main complications associated with low birth weight, and a main cause of mortality in premature neonates. The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of ventilator continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bubble CPAP in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature neonates. Methods: This randomized controlled...

background: using of natural and synthetic surfactant is a rescue treatment for respiratory distress syndrome. in iran, survanta and curosurf are the most frequent used natural surfactant preparations. we compared the clinical response and safety of two surfactants poractant alpha (curosurf) and beractant (survanta) for treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (rds) in preterm infants. method...
