Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), also known as hyaline miembrane disease (HMD), refers to the progressive dyspnea, cyanosis, expiratory groaning, inspiratory concave sign and respiratory failure that occur soon after birth. It is mainly seen in premature infants, especially those with a gestational age of less than 32 to 33 weeks. The basic characteristics are progressive alveolar atelectasis caused by immature lungs and lack of pulmonary surfactant, impaired pulmonary fluid transport, and high permeability exudative lesions between pulmonary capillaries and alveoli. The pathological feature is the presence of eosinophilic hyaline membranes on the alveolar walls to the terminal bronchioles.
