Abstract

Infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) develops among premature infants due to structural immaturity of the lungs and insufficient production of pulmonary surfactant. Nowadays, treatment takes place under conditions of intensive care and includes oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, exogenous supplementation of pulmonary surfactant and antenatal corticosteroid therapy. The treatment of IRDS, especially mechanical ventilation, may lead to complications which can contribute to developing a severe dysfunction of the respiratory system. Unavailability of pharmacological treatment of IRDS and development of pulmonary barotrauma due to mechanical ventilation in our patient led to the forming of severe pulmonary interstitial emphysema. In this Case Report, lung transplantation was performed as an only successful therapeutic option.
