Respiratory distress syndrome of newborn - what does this mean

Respiratory distress syndrome of newborn (rds) is a condition that occurs when a baby's lungs are not fully developed and lack the necessary surfactant to keep the air sacs in the lungs open. this causes the baby to have difficulty breathing and can lead to other complications such as low oxygen levels in the blood.

What happens during the disease - respiratory distress syndrome of newborn

Respiratory distress syndrome of newborn is a condition that occurs when the lungs are not fully developed and lack the surfactant that helps keep the air sacs in the lungs open. this can cause difficulty in breathing, increased respiratory rate, and increased work of breathing. it is most commonly seen in premature infants, but can also occur in full-term infants due to other conditions such as maternal infection, congenital malformations, or birth asphyxia.
