Principles of providing emergency care in respiratory failure in newborns

Abstract

Respiratory distress is a common and important clinical condition affecting newborns, especially premature infants, depending on their gestational age. RDS is the most common cause of respiratory distress in premature infants and is an acute lung disease caused by a deficiency of pulmonary surfactant and immaturity of the respiratory system. Clinical manifestations usually appear after birth or in the first hours of life, but not later than the first day of life.
