If the patient's lung injury does not soon begin to heal, the lack of sufficient oxygen can injure other organs, such as the kidneys. There always is a risk that bacterial pneumonia will develop at some point. Without prompt treatment.

Hello,

I see you are asking "What are the causes for infantile respiratory distress syndrome?"

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) occurs in babies born early (premature) whose lungs are not fully developed. The earlier the infant is born, the more likely it is for them to have RDS and need extra oxygen and help to breathe. RDS is caused by the baby not having enough surfactant in the lungs.

If the underlying disease can be effectively treated, with the patient's breathing supported in the meantime, the outlook is usually good.
