Abstract

Background: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is progressive respiratory failure that is caused primarily by a deficiency of pulmonary surfactant. This study measures to evaluate outcomes of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) patients treated with surfactant therapy.

Objective: To assess the outcome of surfactant therapy in mortality rate, complication from treatment and risk factor of the mortality.

Methods: This study was retrospective study. Data were collected from who diagnosed respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and treated with surfactant at Udonthani hospital between October 2015 and September 2017.

Results: The data of 71 moderate to severe RDS infants who received surfactant replacement therapy were review. The mean gestational age and birthweight were 28 weeks (SD 4.3) and 1,127 grams (SD 352.8) Survival rate was 52.1%. Most common cause of death was neonatal sepsis (61.9%). The mean of ventilator days and length of stay were 9.7 days and 40.7 days. Surfactant replacement therapy within 2 hours after birth was significant to reduce the mortality (p-value 0.031)  

Conclusion: Surfactant therapy in moderate to severe RDS within 2 hours after birth can reduce mortality rate.
