introduction respiratory distress syndrome (rds) is a current cause of morbidity in premature infants resulted from surfactant deficiency. the primary aim of this randomized study was to describe the feasibility of early administration of surfactant via a thin catheter during spontaneous breathing (tec) and compare its outcomes with the insure (intubate, surfactant, extubate) procedure material...

Background: Fetal lung maturity is one of the huge dilemmas since a long time ago. Timing delivery crucial for safe fetal verification pulmonary diminishes respiratory morbidity possibility. Recently Pulmonary artery indices have been used to predict possibility RDS especially in early term. Together with humeral ossification center which has remarkable value estimation term gestation, both the...

there is a lack of large, prospective epidemiologic studies concerning acute lung injury (ali) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ards) in pediatric population. to determine the different causes of respiratory distress in children, we prepared a retrospective study and included the whole 567 children with respiratory distress referred to 17-shahrivar hospital, rasht, guilan. using their m...

background: there is an assumption that fetus with restricted growth with an inappropriate intrauterine environment lies under stress. although small-for-gestational-age (sga) infants have higher mortality, difference in the outcome of sga and appropriate-for-gestational-age (aga) infants regarding respiratory morbidity is controversial. it seems that respiratory morbidities in sga neonates is ...

Pulmonary function in a normal fetus is dependent upon maturation and maintenance of the biochemical synthesis of a distinct surface-active lipid. Two major pathways for the biosynthesis of this major surface-active lipid, dipalmitoyl lecithin, are described and relative activities of each pathway in human lung are discussed. In normal human lung, the CDP-choline path­ way is quantitatively mos...

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...

1. Intrauterine infection or inflammation is common in cases of preterm birth. Preterm infants are at risk of acute respiratory distress as a result of lung immaturity; evidence of exposure to infection and/or inflammation before birth is associated with a reduced risk of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Experimentally induced intrauterine inflammation or infection in sheep causes ...

Prophylactic antibiotics in chronic umbilical artery catheterization in respiratory distress syndrome. The use of prophylactic antibiotics with indwelling umbilical artery catheters under continuous perfusion in 75 high risk newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) was ev...

In preterm infants, RDS is primarily caused by deficiency of pulmonary surfactant in an immature lung. For the past 50 years, related research and experiments with regards to surfactant replacement therapy have been encouraging and inspiring. Numerous trials have been conducted to demonstrate that surfactant plays an important role in the management of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm b...
