Course Summary

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is when the neonate has difficulty breathing due to surfactant deficiency at birth. RDS, also known as hyaline membrane disease (HMD), is the dominant clinical problem faced by preterm infants and is directly related to structurally immature and surfactant deficient lungs.

The greatest risk factor is low gestational age, and the development of the disease begins with the impaired synthesis of pulmonary surfactant associated with prematurity.
