Prognosis of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome?

Patient's question:

Prognosis of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Newborn, low birth weight, preterm labor with oligohydramnios, has been on a ventilator for two days, and the condition has not improved. Breathing is still difficult. Today, the doctor said it seems like the baby's complexion is yellow or the skin is unclear. I want to know if neonatal respiratory distress syndrome can be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome refers to acute respiratory distress symptoms and respiratory failure, such as progressive dyspnea and cyanosis, occurring in newborns shortly after birth (minutes to hours) during natural breathing. It typically appears in premature infants with low birth weight or postterm infants. The formation of pulmonary surfactant in the infant's lungs is also known as Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome. This is not serious and requires active treatment cooperation from doctors.
