A full-term newborn suffers from respiratory failure, but MRI reveals lungs of normal size and structure. Which of the following is a likely cause of the newborn's condition? 1. Pulmonary agenesis 2. Surfactant B deficiency 3. Oligohydramnios 4. Renal agenesis 5. Pulmonary hypoplasia Match the Lung Maturation Period on the right with the description on the left: A. Canalicular B. Terminal saccular C. Pseudoglandular D. Alveolar All major elements of the lung form except those involved in gas exchange. Respiration is possible at the end because some thin-walled terminal saccules have developed at the ends of the respiratory bronchioles. Epithelium becomes very thin and capillaries begin to bulge into developing alveolar spaces. Lungs are capable of respiration because the alveolocapillary membrane is sufficiently thin to allow gas exchange.

A 1.5-kg male baby is delivered via vaginal delivery because of preterm labor at 33 weeks' gestation. Apgar scores are 7 and 8 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. The infant is cyanotic and requires continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) immediately after delivery. He has subcostal retractions, grunting, and nasal flaring. Auscultation reveals decreased air entry in the lung fields throughout. Temperature is 36.8°C, pulse is 175 beats per minute, and respiratory rate is 70 breaths per minute. His chest X-ray shows diffuse atelectasis of both lungs. 1) Based on his clinical signs and symptoms and investigation, the baby is having respiratory distress syndrome (RDS): Explain how RDS relates to atelectasis?
