Patient's question:
Newborn examination, test results: Lung transparencyPrevious treatment and effectiveness: The lung is transparent
What kind of help do you want: Can it be cured? Will it be like a normal child? Will there be no aftereffects in the future? How much will it cost to be cured?
Doctor's answer:
Neonatal hyaline membrane disease typically occurs in premature infants and is associated with a deficiency of pulmonary surfactant. The infant may experience difficulty breathing and hypoxia. In severe cases, it may lead to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.1. This condition is not incurable; timely supplementation with the deficient pulmonary surfactant can be treated.
2. The cost is indeed higher; imported porcine pulmonary surfactant may cost around 8,000 yuan.
3. As long as there is no concurrent brain hypoxia, and if the simple hyaline membrane disease is treated, there is usually no long-term sequelae.
