    Babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) are at risk of developing complications from the disease itself or side effects of treatment, with more severe cases facing greater risks. Potential complications include air leaks in the lung tissues such as pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, and pneumopericardium, as well as pulmonary interstitial emphysema, in which air becomes trapped between lung alveoli. Chronic lung disease, also known as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, is another potential complication.

    Complications of RDS

    Babies with RDS sometimes develop complications of the disease or problems as side effects of treatment. As with any disease, more severe cases often have greater risks for complications. Some complications associated with RDS include the following:

    Air leaks of the lung tissues, such as: o Pneumomediastinum. Air leaks into the mediastinum (the space in the thoracic cavity behind the sternum and between the two pleural sacs containing the lungs). o Pneumothorax. Air leaks into the space between the chest wall and the outer tissues of the lungs. o Pneumopericardium. Air leaks into the sac surrounding the heart. o Pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE). Air leaks and becomes trapped between the alveoli, the tiny air sacs of the lungs. Chronic lung disease, sometimes called bronchopulmonary dysplasia
