Question
Recently, a newborn baby experienced respiratory failure soon after birth and was diagnosed with Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome by the doctor. The family is worried about this and wants to know how to treat this disease.
Answer
Dear parents, hello. I’m glad to provide you with an answer. Generally speaking, Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome does not leave any sequelae. However, newborns with Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome may experience hypoxia, especially when brain hypoxia is severe, which may lead to ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy. If the newborn is premature, the smaller the gestational age, the lower the lung maturity, and the greater the impact of oxygen, making it more likely to develop pulmonary fibrosis.
