Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a breathing problem that sometimes affects babies born six weeks or more before their due dates. Their lungs aren't developed enough to make surfactant, a liquid that coats the inside of the lungs and keeps them open so that the baby can breathe in air once he or she is born.
ostomy sites, for what they are intended for, cannot heal (or close), therefore, cannot arbitrarily be considered surgical wounds. on the other hand, when the ostomy is discontinued, and the site is allowed to heal or close, then the site can now be identified as a surgical wound.
