        ARDS = #1 complication
        --> from low surfactant = low L/S = lethicin/s ratio
        
        IVH = Intraventricular
        Hemorrhage
        --> from germinal centre hemorrhage in lateral ventricles
        
        *ARDS = Acute Respiratory
        Distress Syndrome
        
        ARDS happens for 2 reasons
        --> premature
        -> diabetic mothers

        Notes:
        
        Preterm and underweight babies are susceptible to intraventricular hemorrhage because the germinal matrix is a matrix of dense cellular and vascular areas where neurons and glial cells are developing before birth
        
        germinal matrix is at the draining sites of the medullary veins
        --> between the caudate and the lateral ventricles
        --> if there is germinal matrix hemorrhage, then this blood spills into the ventricles
        --> intraventricular hemorrhage
        
        germinal matrix is gone by weeks 28 so risk of germinal matrix and subsequent intraventricular hemorrhage is highest for < 28 weeks gestation premature babies
