Question
What are the treatment methods for Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome?
Answer
Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome refers to progressive breathing difficulties and respiratory failure that occur shortly after birth in newborns, primarily due to a deficiency in pulmonary surfactant, leading to the progressive collapse of alveoli. Treatment methods include nitric oxide therapy and ventilator-assisted ventilation. In severe cases, it may be necessary to use ventilator-assisted ventilation for several days. Nitric oxide therapy is typically administered for 7 days, with ventilator use for 12 days. During the treatment process, close monitoring of the condition and timely adjustment of the treatment plan are essential. For potential Sequelae following treatment, assessment and management should be based on specific circumstances.
