Question
Recently, a relative’s newborn baby experienced respiratory failure soon after birth and was diagnosed with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. The family is very worried and wants to know how to treat this condition?
Answer
Dear parents, hello. Generally speaking, respiratory distress syndrome does not leave any sequelae, but if the baby has this condition, it may lead to hypoxia, especially when brain hypoxia is severe, which may cause ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy. If the baby is premature, the younger the gestational age, the lower the lung maturity, and the greater the impact of oxygen, making pulmonary fibrosis more likely to occur.
