Track: Neonatal Respiratory Diseases

Sub-Track:
Respiratory
disease is a common cause of neonatal illness. Prompt investigation to
ascertain the underlying diagnosis and appropriate subsequent management is
important to improve outcomes. The ability of the newborn infant to
adapt to the extra-uterine environment is critical to survival. The diseases
are mainly caused by an absence of a slippery material in the lungs called
surfactant. This material helps the lungs fill with air and keeps the air sacs
from deflating. Surfactant is present when the lungs are fully developed. Arguably
none is more critical to survival than the adaption of the lungs.
Neonatal respiratory conditions can rise for several reasons: delayed
adaptation or maladaptation to extra-uterine life, prevailing illnesses such as
surgical or congenital anomalies or from acquired conditions such as pulmonary infections
occurring either pre- or post-delivery.
