Neonatal Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (Nrds) Secondary to Sars-Cov-2 Virus- Beneficial Role of Surfactant
Keyword(s):
We describe a preterm neonate with SARS-CoV-2-related neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) in the second week of life with apneas and progressed to severe pulmonary disease requiring mechanical ventilation. He was administered surfactant therapy along with the other supportive care and had successful outcome. A recognition that these high-risk neonates could deteriorate, and as long as we do not have specific antiviral therapies against SARS-CoV-2, early patho-physiology based supportive therapy is the mainstay to prevent the progression of pulmonary failure, the most common cause of COVID-19 mortality. .
