Anaerobic glycolisis, freeradical oxidation (FRO) of lipids and ABS of blood are studied in the respiratory distress-syndrome (RDS) in children with small, very small and extremely small birth weight. Activation of anaerobic glycolisis, intensification of FRO of lipids and disturbance of ABS of blood are revealed, the degree severity of which corresponded to the birth weight. It was shown that the definite tests on the basis of anaerobic glycolisis and ABS of blood have the most prognostic value for the development of RDS in prematurely born children.
