Synonyms and keywords: Respiratory distress syndrome; surfactant deficient disease

Overview

Hyaline membrane disease is the most common cause of death in newborns. It results from inability of premature type II pneumocytes to make surfactant. Surfactant reduces surface tension. Alveoli collapse when surfactant is not present

Diagnosis

Imaging findings are

  • Low lung volumes
  • Bilateral granular opacities (represent areas of collapsed alveoli mixed with areas of open alveoli)

Treatment

Treatment may be achieved through the administration of surfactant

  • Pros:
    • Decreased oxygen and ventilator requirements
    • Decreased airblock complications
    • Deceased intracranial hemorrhage
  • Cons:
    • Increased Patent Ductus arteriosus.
    • Increased pulmonary hemorrhage.
