A METHOD FOR DETERMINING PATHOMORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN PULMONARY HYALINE MEMBRANE DISEASE

Abstract

This article is devoted to the analysis of scientific literature and practical research on respiratory distress syndrome and hyaline membrane disease. One of the most urgent problems in pediatrics is neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and its morphological manifestation, the hyaline membranes. The growing importance of this problem is associated with the increase in premature births. Hyaline membrane (HM) disease is one of the most common diseases among newborns and usually develops against the background of prematurity; morphologically, it is characterized by a hyaline-like, dense, eosinophilic formation in a circular shape inside the respiratory spaces of the lungs. The hyaline membrane is formed from various components: plasma proteins, hemoglobin, fibrin, nucleo- and mucoproteins.
