Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in cases of premature labor treated by betamimetic drugs.
In 87 premature labors, 31 were treated with betamimetic drugs. The incidence of RDS in the treated group has been lower than in the non-treated group, especially when gestational age was shorter than 35 wk and when newborn's weight was lower than 2000 g.
