Acute respiratory failure in premature infants: Risks and complications
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, also known as hyaline membrane disease, is the most common condition in premature babies. The disease can leave many dangerous complications for the baby later on, even more dangerous is taking the baby's life if not detected and treated early.

Why are premature babies prone to respiratory failure?
Respiratory distress syndrome is common in premature infants, the younger the baby is, the higher the risk of respiratory failure. This is a very dangerous symptom for the baby's life, so it needs to be diagnosed early and intervened promptly.

Surfactant pump for neonatal respiratory failure: Things to note
Primary surfactant deficiency in premature infants causes respiratory distress syndrome. This syndrome is usually treated with surfactant supplementation. Previously, medicine often used the technique of infusing surfactant through the endotracheal tube and putting the baby on a ventilator. Today, the technique of infusing surfactant to treat neonatal respiratory distress is less invasive and is increasingly widely used.

Differential diagnosis of acute respiratory failure in neonates
Respiratory failure is a common syndrome in premature babies due to the respiratory system's inability to maintain gas exchange in accordance with the body's needs. The number of deaths due to respiratory failure is currently the leading cause of neonatal deaths.

Complications can be encountered when the infant has respiratory failure
Respiratory distress syndrome in newborns is common in premature babies, causing respiratory failure due to underdeveloped lungs and lack of surfactant, leading to reduced alveolar surface area for gas exchange.

Treatment of neonatal respiratory failure
Neonatal respiratory failure is a respiratory dysfunction that leads to hypoxia and increased CO2 in the blood. This is the leading cause of death in newborns. Treatment of acute respiratory failure in newborns must be performed quickly to prevent respiratory failure, acidosis, infection, exhaustion, along with treatment of the cause.

Factors associated with neonatal respiratory failure
Neonatal respiratory failure is most common in premature infants. The cause is that the baby's lungs are not yet fully developed, the alveolar surface area for gas exchange is not enough, causing respiratory failure. If not detected and treated promptly, it can lead to death in children.

Endometrial disease in infants: What you need to know
Hyaline membrane disease in newborns is one of the common causes of acute respiratory failure, often occurring in premature infants. Hyaline membrane disease is caused by incomplete development of the respiratory tract and a lack of surfactant, an active substance on the inner surface of the alveoli.
