Q

RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (RDS)

A
  • Cause: DEC in surfectant
  • Affects: Preterm, low birth weight infants
  • Rare in full term babies
  • big reason for mortality/morbidity in neonates
  • lungs formed in last weeks of pregnancy (26 - 34wks)
  • preemies don’t have fully formed lungs
  • 10/100 infants premies
  • more MALES

Q

Surfactant

A
  • Site: Lining of alveoli (made by epithelium of alveoli)
  • DEC surface tension of fluid
  • uniform expansion + maintenance of lung expansion
  • when infant lacks surfactant, they are unable to keep lungs inflated. they use lots of energy to keep lung inflated.
