Can newborns with pulmonary hyaline membrane disease be saved?

Patient's question:

Newborn examination, test results: Lung transparency
Previous 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 pulmonary hyaline membrane disease is a serious illness in newborns, but with systematic and standardized treatment, there is a high chance of recovery. Based on your situation, the newborn has just been born and has been diagnosed with pulmonary hyaline membrane disease. In this case, respiratory support treatment must be provided in the NICU, and pulmonary surfactant therapy should be used. If the treatment is timely and there is no prolonged hypoxia, it is expected that there will be very few sequelae.
