Respiratory Distress and Neonatal Care: From Risk to Revolution
Respiratory distress syndrome remains one of the leading risk factors for infant mortality, but recent research is transforming our understanding and treatment of this critical condition. We discuss systematic reviews, qualitative studies on CPAP implementation in low-resource settings, predictive biomarkers like sFlt-1/PlGF in IUGR, and innovative surgical techniques such as fetoscopic two-layer closure. Discover how personalized approaches, integration of new technologies, and careful consideration of healthcare contexts are revolutionizing neonatal care.
