Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neonatal respiratory distress is a broad, but very common problem. We hope to highlight novel concepts regarding the pathophysiology of neonatal respiratory distress, including those involving classic respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)/surfactant deficiency, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), pulmonary insufficiency of prematurity (factors related to the need for respiratory support due to small size, immaturity, control of breathing, etc.), and evolving early bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), as well as less common etiologies of neonatal respiratory distress such as acute lung injury/acute (adult) RDS (ARDS), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), tracheomalacia, and other anatomic problems. We are seeking both reviews, highlighting gaps in knowledge, as well as original research, including pilot studies and translational laboratory studies pertinent to the topic. We are especially interested in studies supporting or introducing novel therapies and their mechanisms of action, such as new modes of surfactant delivery, antenatal and perinatal steroids, anti-oxidants, and other early-stage pharmacotherapies. During the ever-changing time of the novel SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, we would also welcome works pertaining to practice modifications and challenges in the delivery room management of RDS, non-invasive positive pressure, and intubation.
The goal of this Special Issue in Children is to highlight the scientific understanding of the factors that contribute to neonatal respiratory distress, as well as advances in therapeutic approaches across a variety of settings. Senior investigators are welcome to invite mentees and colleagues to co-author submissions under their supervision. It is our intention that this Special Issue will appeal to both newborn medical providers and neonatal researchers from a variety of backgrounds, including nurses, advanced providers, therapists, pharmacists, physicians, and scientists.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Children is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
