CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a condition of pulmonary
insufficiency that in its natural course commences at or shortly after birth and
increases in severity over the first 2 days of life. Clinically, RDS presents with
early respiratory distress comprising cyanosis, grunting, retractions and
tachypnea. Respiratory failure may develop, indicated by blood gas analysis, and
the diagnosis can be confirmed on chest X-ray with a classical ground glass
appearance and air bronchograms. If left untreated death may occur from
progressive hypoxia and respiratory failure.
In survivors resolution begins between 2 and 4 days. RDS is due to a deficiency
of alveolar surfactant along with structural immaturity of the lung and it is
mainly, but not exclusively, a disease of preterm babies. However, defining RDS
is difficult when prophylactic surfactant and very early continuous positive
airway pressure (CPAP) are used. The Vermont Oxford Neonatal Network
definition requires that babies have a PaO 2 <50 mm Hg (<6.6 kPa) in room air,
central cyanosis in room air or need for supplemental oxygen to maintain PaO 2
>50 mm Hg (>6.6 kPa), as well as the classical chest X-ray appearances.
The pathophysiology of this disorder has been clearly elucidated. Briefly, the
structurally immature and surfactant- deficient lung has a tendency to collapse.
The presence of relatively well perfused but poorly ventilated areas of the lung
results in ventilation/perfusion mismatch, with hypoxemia and hypercarbia. In
some patients, pulmonary vasoconstriction leads to persistence of pulmonary
hypertension and right-to-left shunts (via the patent ductus arteriosus and/or the
foramen ovale), resulting in more severe hypoxemia. This phenomenon, once
thought to be patrimony of the full term infant, is frequently observed in preterm
babies with RDS and has led some clinicians to consider the use of inhaled nitric
CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
Even though the number of RDS cases in the United States is growing, the
infant mortality rate from RDS has dramatically declined from about 25,000
deaths per year in the 1960s to 860 deaths in 2005 because of surfactant
replacement therapy. Infant deaths from RDS were 2.6 times greater in African
American babies than in Caucasian babies, although Caucasian babies are at a
higher risk to develop the condition. In Indonesia, out of 950.000 newborn with
low-weight, approximately 150.000 newborn suffers from RDS and most of the
case is hyalin membrane disease.
2.3 Patogenesis
1. Transient tachypnea of the newborn
TTN is a parenchymal lung disorder characterized by pulmonary edema that
results from delayed resorption and clearance of fetal alveolar fluid in term
infants). The excess fluid in the lungs in TTN results in decreased pulmonary
compliance and increased airway resistance The mechanism causing changes in
pulmonary function are primarily associated with the extrinsic compression of
small airways by fluid in the extra-alveolar interstitium. Tachypnea develops to
compensate for the increased work of breathing associated with reduced
compliance and increased airway resistance. (Avery ME, 2004)
2. Respiratory distress syndrome
RDS is also known as hyaline membrane disease; it is the major cause of
neonatal respiratory distress, especially in preterm infants. RDS is caused by a
deficiency of surfactant. Surfactant is a phospholipid mixture that is responsible
for stabilizing distal alveoli, at low end-expiratory lung volumes, by reducing
surface tension). When surfactant is deficient, the infant may not be able to
generate the increased inspiratory pressure required to inflate alveolar units,
resulting in the development of progressive atelectasis. Diffuse atelectasis results
in low compliance, high resistance in small airways, and low functional residual
capacity. Hypoxemia results primarily from mismatching of ventilation and
perfusion as blood bypasses the atelectatic air spaces. Right-to-left shunting then
occurs through the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale because of increased
pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and contributes to the decreased
oxygenation.
3. Persistent pulmonary hypertension
PPHN is caused by persistently elevated PVR that leads to right-to-left
shunting through the foramen ovale and the ductus arteriosus, resulting in
hypoxemia). PPHN occurs primarily in term or late preterm infants (34 weeks
gestation). The high pulmonary resistance is secondary to a number of factors,
including: low arteriolar and alveolar oxygen levels; hypercarbia; acidosis;
alveolar fluid pressure; lack of mechanical, rhythmic distention of the lung; and
the net vasoconstricting action of a number of humoral agents. Catecholamines,
histamine, bradykinin, angiotensin, adenosine, serotonin, prostaglandins,
thromboxane, atrial natriuretic peptide, endothelin, and nitric oxide (NO) are
involved in the regulation of pulmonary vascular tone in the fetus). Newborns
with PPHN are at risk of severe asphyxia and its complications including death,
neurologic injury and other problems. Studies over the past two decades have
clearly shown the critical role of NO-cGMP signaling in the regulation of the
fetal and neonatal pulmonary circulation, and that disruption of the NO-cGMP
cascade during the perinatal period leads to PPHN.
2.4 Patofisiology
The primary cause of RDS is inadequate pulmonary surfactant. The structurally
immature and surfactant-deficient lung has compliance and a tendency to
atelectasis; other factors in preterm infants that the risk of atelectasis are
decreased alveolar radius and weak chest wall. With atelectasis, well perfused but
poorly ventilated areas of lung lead to V/Q mismatch (with intra-pulmonary
shunting) and alveolar hypoventilation with resultant hypoxemia and hypercarbia.
Severe hypoxemia and systemic hypoperfusion result in decreased O2 delivery,
anaerobic metabolism and subsequent lactic acidosis. Hypoxemia and acidosis

2.7 Diagnosis
RDS diagnosis can be enforced through clinical manisfestation and can be
confirmed with gas blood analysis. Clinical manisfestation that happen to
neonatal baby is:
Cyanosis
Apnea
Nasal flaring
Rapid breathing
Shallow breathing
infiltrates
Blood gas analysis is a defenite indicator from exchange of gas to measure
acute respiratory failure. Eventhough the clinical manifestation need intubation
action and use of mechanical ventilation, the sampling of atrial blood is needed to
10
analys blood gas pressure ( PaO2, PaCO2 and pH) while monitoring with pulse
oxymetry. Heavy hypocxemia is marked with PaO2 < 50-60 mmHg with FiO2
60% or PaO2 <60 mmHg with FiO2 > 40% for babies < 1250 g, heavy
hipercapnea with PaCO2 > 55-60 mmHg with pH < 7,2 -7,25. Severity level of
respiratory distress can be evaluated through Silverman-Anderson score or
Downes score.
Table 1 : Downes Score
2.8 Management
The goals of management of an infant with RDS are to (Halliday, 2010)
Avoid hypoxemia and acidosis
Optimize fluid management which is avoid fluid overload and resultant body
and pulmonary edema while averting hypovolemia and hypotension
Reduce metabolic demands and maximize nutrition
Minimize lung injury secondary due to volutrauma and oxygen toxicity
The three most important advances in prevention and treatment of RDS have
been:
(a) antenatal glucocorticoids
(b) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP)
11
Prophylactic administration
Involves giving surfactant soon after birth, as soon as the infant has been
stabilized. The theoretical benefit of this approach is that replacement of
surfactant before RDS develops will avoid or ameliorate lung injury. Animal
studies have shown that the lung epithelium of very premature subjects can be
damaged within minutes of onset of ventilation. The damage can result in protein
leak which subsequently interferes with surfactant function.
Rescue administration
Involves giving surfactant to infants who have established RDS and require
mechanical ventilation and supplemental O2. The advantage of this approach is
12
that patients are not treated unnecessarily. Because surfactant currently can only
be given via an endotracheal tube, this would prevent intubation and mechanical
ventilation of infants who would do well without surfactant and avoid
unnecessary baro/volutrauma, adverse physiological effects of laryngoscopy, and
possible inadvertent hyperventilation. Past studies have shown greater reduction
in neonatal mortality with prophylactic administration versus rescue, especially in
infants greatest at risk for RDS (i.e., <27 weeks GA). However, with the use of
nasal CPAP in VLBW infants and higher rates of antenatal steroid administration,
there exists controversy on the optimal timing of surfactant administration,
balancing the benefits of early surfactant administration with the advantages of
avoiding mechanical ventilation and volutrauma. The current approach to the
timing of surfactant therapy at UCSF is summarized in Table 1.

3. Oxygen
Oxygen should be administered to preterm infants in concentrations sufficient
to maintain PaO2 between 50-70 mmHg or saturation (by pulse oximetry)
between 85-92%. Higher O2 concentrations may exacerbate lung injury and will
increase the risk of retinopathy of prematurity.
4. Respiratory Management
The initial decision in respiratory management of an infant with RDS is
whether the infant can be adequately managed with nasal CPAP (i.e., no treatment
with surfactant) or should receive endotracheal intubation, surfactant therapy and
mechanical ventilation. Endotraheal intubation should be performed in infants
that require prophylactic surfactant administration or who meet the criteria.
15
16
frequent episodes of apnea, gastric distension and breakdown of nasal skin and
mucosa from the mask/prongs. The method and timing of further weaning, from
nasal CPAP to supplemental O2 via nasal cannula, varies with gestational age,
post-natal age, weight and stability of the individual patient. Some infants require
a gradual transition to nasal cannula through sprinting, a process in which
infants are trialed on nasal cannula for a portion of the day and then returned to
nasal CPAP. As the infant demonstrates increased tolerance of these trials, the
length of these trials is slowly extended.. The time of these trials often coincides
with feeds, in order to minimize handling of VLBW infants (e.g., if feedings are
q3 hours, trials of nasal cannula are usually increased in 3 hour intervals).
5. Antibiotic therapy
The clinical and radiographic features of pneumonia may be indistinguishable
from RDS at birth. As a result, all infants with RDS should have blood cultures
and CBC drawn, and should receive empiric antibiotic therapy (Ampicillin and
Gentamicin). Generally, antibiotics may be discontinued if the blood culture has
no growth after 48 hours, unless prenatal history or clinical scenario warrants
extended treatment.
6. Thermoregulation
Careful temperature control is imperative in all VLBW infants and is especially
important in infants with RDS to minimize metabolic demands and oxygen
consumption. RDS can limit oxygen uptake leading to hypoxia which limits the
ability of an infant to increase their metabolic rate when cold stressed, resulting in
a fall in body temperature. An incubator or radiant warmer must be utilized to
maintain a neutral thermal environment for the infant.
