Abstract
Common indications for the need for respiratory support in neonates include respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) due to surfactant deficiency, apnea of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), meconium aspiration syndrome, transient tachypnea of the newborn, pulmonary hypoplasia due to congenital diaphragmatic hernia, congenital heart disease, and encephalopathy affecting respiratory drive and airway control. Differences in size, maturity, developmental stage, anatomy and physiology need to be taken into account while providing respiratory support. RDS occurs due to deficiency of surfactant which decreases the compliance and causes hypoxemia due to ventilation-perfusion mismatch due to atelectasis. Administration of surfactant is effective in treating RDS.
