Risk Factors for Perinatal Hypoxia in Newborns with Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Abstract

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the leading cause of respiratory dysfunction in the period of early neonatal adaptation. The higher its occurrence, the lower the gestational age and body weight at birth. RDS is one of the most frequent and severe diseases of the early neonatal period in premature infants, and it accounts for about 25% of all deaths, and in children born at 26-28 weeks of gestation, this figure reaches up to 80%.
