Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the major cause of respiratory failure in preterm
infants due to immature lung development and surfactant deficiency. Although the concepts …

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) was recognized to be caused by primary surfactant
deficiency almost 70 years ago and continuous positive airway pressure was introduced …

Sonographic assessment of diaphragmatic thickness and excursion has been found to be
an accurate tool in predicting successful extubation of adult patients from invasive …

To investigate the development of diaphragmatic dysfunction in ventilated extremely preterm
infants (EPI) using diaphragm ultrasound (DU). EPI of less than 28 weeks' gestational age …

Respiratory distress is a common chief complaint in neonates admitted to the neonatal
intensive care unit. Despite the increasing use of non-invasive ventilation in neonates with …

Background Caffeine is the first‐choice drug for the treatment for apnea of prematurity (AOP)
