Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome Prevention

1, prenatal prevention for Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome:
It is condition that the possibility of a preterm delivery in pregnant women, in the late in pregnancy, given adreno cortical hormone (ACH), to prevent RDS or mitigate the symptoms of RDS for premature infants after birth.

Although ACH have the efficacy of prevention, but there are still 10% of premature infant occur RDS, therefore take other hormones to enhance the effectiveness. Thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) in animal brain tissue are similar with thyroxine structure and function, and can get through the placenta, it also is used for the prevention of preparation. Each dose 0.4mg, every 8 hours 1 times, a total of 4 times. If some side effects may occur in pregnant women, include nausea, vomiting and high blood pressure, should be reduced to half. After use TRH, RDS incidence and mortality even lower.

2, post-natal prevention for Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome:
It is condition that in half an hour after birth, take infant with pulmonary surfactant, can prevent the occurrence of RDS or mitigate its symptoms, and more use for pre-pregnancy who are no prevention of RDS. The sooner, the better in the effect of prevention, preferably trickle down from within the endotracheal intubation, before the start of the baby breathing or positive pressure breathing machine, can uniformly distributed PS in the lungs. The effect is better in prevention for RDS and reduce mortality.

3, combinated prevention for Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome:
For prenatal women with ACH, for post-natal newborns with PS combinated prevention, condition: 1. late to start prevention in antenatal, pregnant women delivery have not yet reached the 24-hour; 2. neonatal with intrauterine severe distress, RDS occurred often serious after birth, should use of combinated prevention. Combinated prevention is better than individual.
