	abstract = {A recent publication has attempted to define neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), using a consensus conference of the opinion of 13 experts from Europe, USA and Australia (1). RDS is a well-defined entity in neonates characterized by the presence of clinical features (evidence of respiratory distress as manifested by tachypnea, sub-costal and inter-costal retractions, use of accessory muscles of respiration, and grunting) at birth or within the first 6 hours of life, in a preterm neonate, along with a characteristic radiograph (diffuse reticulo-granular opacification with air bronchograms and decreased lung volumes) suggesting a primary surfactant deficiency. The terminology of “adult” RDS was subsequently used to designate the presence of symptomatology of surfactant deficiency in adult patients and referred to as ARDS. However, since secondary surfactant deficiency can occur in children, too, the “A” in ARDS was changed to “acute” to be inclusive.},
