... were included in this study. After delivery, the Apgar score and the development of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in the neonates were compared. Results: Group 2 babies had better Apgar scores when compared to group 1, and the difference was statistically significant. Sixteen (32%) neonates...

...H. Korvenranta Gastric aspirate lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratios in newborn infants at risk to develop breathing difficulties were studied. 51.6% of the infants with an immature L/S value developed clinical respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). In the RDS infants, the gastric aspirate L/S value...

In view of the fact that infants born prematurely now have a better chance of survival in intensive care units than in previous years, we believe that for certain high-risk mothers, the policy of betamethasone administration for preventing respiratory distress syndrome in premature babies must...
