Purpose : Respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) is a major cause of death in premature babies. For the treatment of RDS, various artificial pulmonary surfactants have been used. The incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage is increased in association with surfactant therapy in extremely low birth weight infants. But the pathogenesis of this increased incidence is not clear. So we conducted this study...

Purpose : With the recent advent of surfactant replacement therapy, there is an increasing need for a rapid and reliable test to predict respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) immediately before or at birth. There are many investigations and methods for the detection of RDS in prenatal or postnatal period. The stable microbubble rating test (SMR-test) developed by pattle et al. is rapid and simple test...
