(Redirected from Hyaline membrane disease)

Infantile respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS), also called respiratory distress syndrome of newborn, or increasingly surfactant deficiency disorder (SDD),[1] and previously called hyaline membrane disease (HMD), is a syndrome in premature infants caused by developmental insufficiency of pulmonary surfactant production and lungs.[2][3] IRDS affects about 1% of newborns and is the leading cause of death in preterm infants.[4]
