AB  - The  disease  that  has  defined  the  history  of  neonatology  is  what  we  now  call  respiratory  distress  syndrome  (RDS).  The  enigmatic  hyaline  membrane  disease  was  uniformly  fatal  for  preterm  infants  before  neonatal  care  was  available.1  The  atelectasis,  epithelial  injury,  and  accumulation  of  eosinophilic  proteinaceous  material  in  the  airspaces  were  attributed  primarily  to  aspiration  or  infection.  The  recognition  that  the  early  respiratory  failure  of  some  preterm  infants  could  be  treated  with  oxygen  in  the  1950s  contributed  to  the  development  of  early  newborn  care  centers  that  have  morphed  into  modern  neonatal  intensive  care  units.  However,  excessive  oxygen  use  resulted  in  an  epidemic  of  retrolental  fibroplasia  (now  called  retinopathy  of  prematurity).2
