Chest X rayHigh concentrations of oxygen are administered with increased airway pressure to most preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Among 20% to 30% of survivors a form of chronic lung d
PG frequently remained signifi- cantly lower than in the control subjects, even after the disap- pearance of x-ray changes typical to RDS. The total amount of phospholipids recovered from lung ef- fluent seemed to depend mainly on the quantity of surfactant produced, but there was considerable...
Transienttachypneaof thenewborn(TTN) occurs in 4 to 6 per 1000 at-term infants. An incidence of 10 per 1000 has been reported in premature infants,88but coexisting problems (e.g., RDS) may mask the presentation. TTN is due to delayed fetal lung fluid clearance89; neonates...
it is important to monitor the blood gases and perform chest X-ray. As most modern ventilators have numerical and graphical displays of ventilator parameters, these should be used to guide ventilation management and reduce the risk of lung injury. ...
RDS caused by lack of surfactant ? Poor gas exchange & ventilation ? Seen in preterm newborns ? Cesarean births without labor ? Infants of diabetic mothers Respiratory Distress Syndrome Symptoms ? Tachypnea ? Expiratory grunting ? Nasal flaring ? Retractions ? See-saw respiration ? Chest x-ray-...

From January 2020 to June 2021 a total of 114 preterm neonates who were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with symptoms of respiratory distress within 6 hours of birth were subjected to clinical examination, laboratory testing, chest x-ray (AP and lateral view'...
We expect limitations in respiratory outcome evaluations, from the chest X-ray pattern and the improvement after surfactant therapy, as these resources are not always available in low-income settings. However, we believe that GA assessed by the new device could also help to identify those newborns...
It is usually a clinical diagnosis, although chest x-ray may show retained fluid in the fissures and increased interstitial markings. Infants should be monitored closely for oxygen desaturations, but treatment is otherwise supportive. If respiratory symptoms develop after the first few hours of life...
