compliance in neonates

Compliance in neonates refers to how easily their lungs can expand and contract during breathing. A compliant lung is flexible and can fill with air readily, which is essential for effective breathing. In neonates, lung compliance can be affected by conditions like respiratory distress syndrome or other lung issues, making it harder for them to breathe efficiently. Monitoring compliance helps healthcare providers assess lung health and determine appropriate treatments to support proper oxygen intake and overall respiratory function in newborns.
