`
`Preface
`
`Respiratory disorders remain a major problem in neo(cid:173)
`natal intensive care. As a consequence, this is an area of
`intensive research. In writing the second edition we,
`therefore, felt it important to involve leading researchers
`from all over the world to contribute in their specialist
`areas. Our aim is for this book to provide a comprehensive
`
`and up-to-date statement on the physiology, pathology,
`management and outcome of respiratory problems
`facing neonatal clinicians on a daily basis.

`Acknowledgments
`
`We would like to acknowledge the enormous debt we
`owe to all who contributed chapters to this book and to
`their secretaries. We are particularly grateful to Sue
`Williams in the Department of Child Health at Guy's,
`King's and StThomas' School of Medicine whose excel(cid:173)
`lent secretarial, administrative and interpersonal rela(cid:173)
`tionship skills, patience and goodwill enabled this second
`edition to be completed. We are enormously grateful to
`Dr Paul Cheeseman who spent many hours meticulously
`
`scanning in all the figures, to Dr John Karani who addi(cid:173)
`tionally provided the legends to all the chest radiographs
`and Dr Johan Smith who provided key imaging pictures.
`We also acknowledge the help received from all Edward
`Arnold staff, particularly Sarah Burrows and Dr Joanna
`Koster.

`
`There are major changes in the function of the lung at
`the moment of birth. The lung has to be ready to func(cid:173)
`tion efficiently at this time, although it has grown while
`not fulfilling its postnatal function. The lung at birth is
`not a miniature version of the adult lung, but has grown
`sufficiently to support the respiratory needs of the infant.
`The primary function of the lung is gas exchange and the
`airways and blood vessels are arranged to produce a dis(cid:173)
`tribution system for the air and blood to a large surface
`area within a relatively small chest volume.
`During infancy and childhood, as the body surface
`increases the lung grows in size, increasing the size of air(cid:173)
`ways and the surface area for gas exchange in the alveolar
`region with a concomitant increase in the size of blood
`vessels and number of capillaries. The structure of the com(cid:173)
`ponents also mature.
`
`FETAL STAGES OF LUNG DEVELOPMENT
`
`The classic descriptions of lung growth have divided fetal
`development into four major stages based on the appear(cid:173)
`ance of the lung tissue. These are embryonic, pseudo(cid:173)
`glandular, canalicular and alveolar; the last is sometimes
`divided into an earlier saccular or terminal sac phase and
`a later alveolar stage (Table 1.1, Figure 1.1). The alveolar
`stage continues after birth and in some species is entirely
`postnatal. There is also considerable individual variation
`and one stage gradually merges into the next. Within each
`phase, development of specific structures is of major
`importance. During the embryonic period the main hilar
`
`connections of the airways and the pulmonary circula(cid:173)
`tion are made. During the pseudoglandular phase the
`pre-acinar airways with their accompanying arteries and
`veins develop. During the canalicular phase the blood-gas
`barrier thins and the maturation of the surfactant system
`begins. In the alveolar phase alveoli multiply and by birth
`up to half the adult number are present.
`
`Development of the airways
`
`The lung appears as a ventral diverticulum from the endo(cid:173)
`dermal foregut in the fourth week after ovulation. The
`complete lining epithelium of the lung is derived from the
`endoderm. This bud is formed within the splanchnic meso(cid:173)
`derm surrounding the gut and the dorsal aorta; it is from
`this mesenchyme that the airway walls and blood vessels
`are derived. A division produces the left and right bron(cid:173)
`chi by 26-28 days of gestational age and segmental air(cid:173)
`ways are present by 6 weeks. Further division of airways(cid:173)
`into the surrounding mesenchyme continues until the
`end of the pseudoglandular stage ( 17 weeks of gestation)
`by which time all pre-acinar airways to the level of the ter(cid:173)
`minal bronchiolus are present. The majority of divisions
`occur during the tenth to fourteenth weeks of gestation5
`(Figures 1.1 and 1.2).
`During the canalicular period (16-27 weeks of gesta(cid:173)
`tion) the pre-acinar airways increase in diameter and
`length. The peripheral airways continue to divide to form
`the prospective respiratory bronchioli (two to three
`generations in humans) and beyond these the prospect(cid:173)
`ive alveolar ducts. The mesenchymal region between the

`
`airways thins and capillaries come to lie beneath the
`epithelium of the peripheral airways, apparently causing
`the epithelium to become thinner. The larger airways
`(prospective bronchi) are lined by columnar epithelium,
`but the distal bronchioli are lined by cuboidal cells. At the
`level of the prospective respiratory bronchioli, part of the
`wall is lined by flattened cells, as are the prospective alveo(cid:173)
`lar ducts which at this stage are sac shaped (saccules).
`By 20-22 weeks of gestation, type I and II alveolar epi(cid:173)
`thelial cells can be identified lining all saccular air spaces.
`The type I cells are flat and elongated and cover the major(cid:173)
`ity of the surface. The ~e II cells maintain a cuboidal
`shape and develop lamd4!! bS?dies around 24 weeks of
`gestation, which is 4-5 wea~lbefore surfactant can be
`detected in the amniotic fluid. By the end of the canalicular
`stage, the air to blood barrier is thin enough to support
`gas exchange (about 0.6 [LID) but the gas exchange units
`are the large thin-walled saccules. True alveoli develop
`later (p. 7).
`Increase in airway size in the prenatal period is linear
`and continuous with antenatal growth. After the first
`year of life, there is a slowing in growth, there being an
`approximately twofold increase between 22 weeks of ges(cid:173)
`tation and 8 months postnatal age and a two- to three(cid:173)
`fold increase between birth and adulthood.20 A previous
