Neonatal respiratory failure-An overview

摘要：

@@ Respiratory disorders in the neonates still remain the reason for postnatal hospitalization.Main reasons for respiratory failure in the term neonate include transient tachypnea(TTN) of the neonate;in preterms,respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) is a dominating cause.The incidence of TTN has increased during the past two decades due to an increased rate of C-sections in western countries,whereas the rate of RDS could be lowered,mainly due to improved perinatal care.Overall prognosis in respiratory failure could be improved due to advanced ventilation techniques,systematic use of surfactant and the establishment of systematic ECMO-support.1 IntroductionIn Western countries,postnatal respiratory failure is the main cause of treatment in intensive care units in preterm and term neonates.Due to the continuously high prevalence of neonatal respiratory distress,research on neonatal respiratory failure is one main stay in neonatology.During the past decades,there was a reduction of respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) regarding age-defined groups of very preterm neonates.On the other hand,there had been an increase in respiratory distress in term neonates due to an increased frequency of C-sections in Western countries and resulting transient tachypnea of the neonate(TTN)”1”.
