Lung Maturation: The Survival Miracle of Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Lung Maturation: The Survival Miracle of Very Low Birth Weight Infants

The increased survival of very preterm infants is generally attributed to improved care strategies. This review develops the thesis that the features of abnormal pregnancies responsible for very preterm deliveries also provide an explanation of why very preterm infants often survive. A normal fetus...
