Antenatal corticosteriods decrease forced vital capacity in infants born fullterm. [PDF]

Pediatr Pulmonol, 2020
AbstractAntenatal corticosteroids (ACS) administration to pregnant women for threatened preterm labor is standard obstetric care to reduce neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and the associated respiratory morbidity. While ACS stimulates surfactant production in the fetal lung, the effects of ACS upon the subsequent growth and development of the ...
