How is Respiratory Distress Syndrome Treated?

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is commonly seen in premature infants due to immature lungs. Treatment often includes:
Surfactant Administration: Surfactant is a substance that helps keep the air sacs in the lungs open.
Mechanical Ventilation: This provides the necessary oxygen and pressure to help the baby breathe.
CPAP: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure helps keep the airways open and improves oxygenation.
