What are the causes of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome

summary

My cousin's baby is premature. She came out one month ahead of the due date. She was not in good health when she was born. The doctor said that the baby was short of breath and initially suspected that it was neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Today, let me talk about the causes of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.

What are the causes of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome

First: neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, premature is one of the causes of the disease, fetal age 22-24 weeks, lung type II cells have been able to produce PS, but the amount is not much, and rarely transferred to the alveolar surface, with the growth of gestational age, PS synthesis gradually increased, so the more premature the baby, the less PS in the lung, the higher the incidence of RDS.

Second: neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) refers to the fact that a newborn has a short (several minutes to several hours) natural breathing after birth, followed by progressive dyspnea, cyanosis, moaning and other acute respiratory distress symptoms and respiratory failure. It is more common in premature infants, low birth weight infants or overdue infants.

Third: and the incidence of premature infants, the smaller the gestational age, the higher the incidence rate. In addition, the incidence of infants with diabetes, cesarean section, second and male twins, multiple births, intrauterine distress or asphyxia, genetic history and respiratory distress syndrome were also higher.

matters needing attention

Expectant mothers must go to the prenatal examination on time, and always pay attention to the growth of the fetus and baby. If the expectant mothers diagnosed as high-risk pregnancy by prenatal examination, they must actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. Through treatment, they can effectively prevent the occurrence of premature birth, dystocia and other situations.
