Respiratory distress syndrome: influence of management on the hemodynamic status of ≤ 32-week preterm infants in the first 24 hours of life

Conclusion: In ≤ 32-week newborns under invasive mechanical ventilation, increases in the mean airway pressure and number of surfactant doses are correlated with the worsening of early cardiac function. Therefore, more aggressive management of respiratory distress syndrome may contribute to the hemodynamic instability of these patients.
