Abstract

Increasing knowledge of the pathophysiology of respiratory distress syndrome has led to improvements in clinical management. Future advances in prevention and therapy, including administration of agents to prevent prematurity or to accelerate lung maturation, provision of surfactant replacement, and new techniques of mechanical ventilation, will further decrease mortality and morbidity.
