Abstract
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is a major cause of morbidity and death in premature newborns due to inadequate surfactant synthesis in the lungs. Preterm birth carries a higher risk of respiratory problems. Clinically cyanosis, grunting, retractions, and tachypnea are signs of early respiratory distress associated with RDS Should therapeutic measures not be implemented, the infant may suffer respiratory failure and increasing hypoxia. This case study investigates how physical therapy affects a preterm newborn with NRDS regarding thoracic squeeze, percussion, and vibration with expiratory flow increase technique The patient's prenatal, natal, and postnatal history is included in depth in the report, along with information on the mother's health, pregnancy difficulties, birth details, first clinical presentation, and care that followed. Despite advancements in treatment through the use of surfactants, prenatal corticosteroids, and advanced respiratory care for the newborn, RDS continues to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in premature newborns. The significance of interdisciplinary methods in improving the care and prognosis of newborns with NRDS is shown by this instance.
