Patient's question:
My aunt had a baby a few days ago, but the baby stopped breathing right after birth. The doctor said it was due to neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), also known as hyaline membrane disease. We are very worried about the child and don't know if it will recover. Could you please tell me how to treat neonatal respiratory distress syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Dear parent friend, hello, it's a pleasure to answer for you. Generally, hyaline membrane disease does not leave any aftereffects, but when a child has hyaline membrane disease, it can easily cause hypoxia, especially when the brain is severely hypoxic, it can lead to cerebral hypoxia-ischemic encephalopathy. Moreover, if a child is born prematurely and the gestational age is smaller, the lungs are less mature, and they are more susceptible to the effects of oxygen, making it easier to develop pulmonary fibrosis.
