In this episode, we take a deep dive into Respiratory Distress Syndrome or RDS in newborns.
RDS is the dominant clinical problem preterm infants face. But, RDS it is not exclusive to just premature infants.
Tune in to learn more about RDS, what causes it, what infants can be affected by it, the common symptoms infants present with, how it is diagnosed, as well as the common methods of prevention and treatment including antenatal steroids, respiratory support, specifically CPAP, and artificial surfactant administration.
You will gain a better understanding of how a deficiency of surfactant affects a baby's air exchange, oxygenation, breathing difficulties, and starts a cascade of events if it is not addressed or treated.
