Abstract

The paper describes approaches to the antenatal prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. It analyzes the feasibility of using antenatal corticosteroid therapy in different pregnancy periods and discusses the efficiency of repeated courses of drugs and the expediency of their administration. Methods to estimate fetal lung maturity are presented.
