Dear Dr. Thank you would the same be true regarding infant respiratory distress. No problem with additional charge
Brief Answer:
Respiratory distress in newborns is a chief complaint of prematurity
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.
The lung maturity is completed when the baby reaches term. Prematurity, whether natural or induced, can thus lead to immature lungs and hence respiratory distress in newborn. This could pave way for oxygen dependency or broncho pulmonary dysplasia.
In case of induced delivery, such complications can easily be prevented simply by administering two doses of steroids to the mother 24 hours prior to delivery. It induces lung maturity in the babies.
Hope that helps.
