Abstract

Pulmonary hemorrhage is an acute deterioration that has a high rate of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Several risk factors that lead to pulmonary hemorrhage have been identified but the exact pathogenesis is not known. Important role in the development of pulmonary hemorrhage in neonatology is the development of pulmonary edema, which usually occurs due to increased pulmonary flow. Hemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus, prematurity, intrauterine growth and application of pulmonary surfactant significantly contribute to the increased incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage. There is no specific therapy. In this article, special attention was dedicated to the identification of risk factors and pulmonary hemorrhage treatments as a ways for its prevention
