The main treatments for white lung in premature infants include medications that promote the production of pulmonary surfactant and mechanical ventilation support. If infection is present, prompt and effective anti-infective therapy is also required to prevent worsening of the condition. White lung in premature infants is primarily associated with underdeveloped lungs due to prematurity, which can easily lead to respiratory failure; therefore, early treatment is essential.
