Question

My child has been diagnosed with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. I would like to know how to treat it?

Answer

The treatment for neonatal respiratory distress syndrome is determined based on the severity of the baby’s condition. The treatment primarily includes supplementation of pulmonary surfactants, and if there is no surfactant available, mechanical ventilation may be considered, which can be invasive or non-invasive methods. Furthermore, attention should be paid to potential acidosis and other issues that may arise after the baby’s birth, with early antibiotic treatment recommended.
