Yale School of Medicine researchers have isolated a gene that helps protect newborns from the most common respiratory cause of infant death in the United States—respiratory distress syndrome.
Background: Severe hypoxic respiratory failure is a leading cause of neonatal mortality in Chile. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation improves survival in neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure.
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a critical intervention for patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a severe condition characterized by widespread inflammation in the lungs.
