Abstract
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a life-threatening condition primarily affecting premature infants due to insufficient pulmonary surfactant production and immature lung development. This article explores the etiology, pathogenesis, and pathomorphological changes associated with neonatal RDS, including alveolar collapse, hyaline membrane formation, and vascular alterations. Current treatment strategies, such as exogenous surfactant therapy and mechanical ventilation, are discussed alongside preventive measures like antenatal corticosteroid administration. This study aims to provide neonatologists and pathologists with insights into the pathophysiology and clinical management of RDS, contributing to improved outcomes for affected neonates.
