Early Neonatal Respiratory Distress: Changes in Level IIb Hospital Over a Period of One Year
Early Neonatal Respiratory Distress: Changes in Level IIb Hospital Over a Period of One Year
Respiratory distress is one of the first hospital grounds during the neonatal period. The clinical presentation and severity vary by gestational age and cause. She reports to various etiological factors as maternal, neonatal or sometimes entangled. The symptomatic management has benefited from organizational progress (perinatal care) and techniques, including antenatal steroids, the use of exogenous surfactant and non-invasive ventilation early, so that the use of intubation is less frequent. The short-term evolution of patients with early respiratory distress is based on gestational age, cause and initial management.
Main objective:
