How it begins

Un análisis exhaustivo del espectro de trastornos pulmonares en el recién nacido. Desde las bases moleculares de la transición alveolo-capilar, la síntesis y cinética del surfactante, hasta los algoritmos terapéuticos avanzados para el Síndrome de Dificultad Respiratoria, la Hipertensión Pulmonar Persistente, el Síndrome de Aspiración de Meconio y las modalidades de soporte ventilatorio invasivo y no invasivo de…
