lung expansion

What are the Risks of Inadequate Lung Expansion?

Inadequate lung expansion can lead to several complications:
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS): Common in preterm infants, characterized by rapid, shallow breathing and grunting.
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD): A chronic lung disease that can result from long-term ventilation and oxygen therapy.
Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH): Bleeding in the brain that can occur due to severe respiratory distress.
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN): A condition where the newborn's circulation continues to bypass the lungs, leading to severe hypoxemia.
