Hyaline Membrane Disease and Complications of Its Treatment

  • Chapter
Radiological Imaging of the Neonatal Chest

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

Hyaline membrane disease (HMD) or idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) affects premature infants, most of those concerned being born at less than 36 weeks of gestational age and weighing less than 2.5 kg. Infants of diabetic mothers are also more prone to develop the condition (Robert et al. 1976). It is the leading cause of death in live-born infants. Males are affected more commonly than females, and the condition is more common in whites than blacks (Cleveland 1995).
