Respiratory Distress Syndrome of the Neonate: A Comprehensive Approach
Copyright :
The first hours and days of life are of crucial importance for the newborn infant, when they are particularly vulnerable to a range of respiratory diseases, many unique to this period of early life as the developing fluid-filled fetal lungs adapt to the extrauterine environment. The clinical signs of respiratory distress are important to recognize and further investigate, to identify the underlying cause. The epidemiology, diagnostic features and management of common neonatal respiratory conditions are covered in this presentation.
