Abstract
- Blood was known as a potent inhibitor of pulmonary surfactant, and maternal blood aspiration is a rare cause of respiratory distress syndrome in neonates. We experienced a neonate with a history of maternal antepartum hemorrhage who developed respiratory distress after birth and blood was aspirated from tracheal suction. He received artificial ventilation and subsequent improvement of chest x-ray and oxygenation index was noted after artificial surfactant replacement therapy. The aspirated blood was of maternal origin.
