Или - нарушено дишане.
Доколкото знам обаче, когато става дума за бебета и деца, се използва терминът respiratory distress syndrom - поне това съкращение е общоизвестно.
Вижте за детския синдром:
Respiratory Distress Syndrome is the most common lung disease of premature infants.


RDS occurs in babies with incomplete lung development. The more premature the infant, the greater likelihood of RDS.


RDS is due to insufficient SURFACTANT in the lungs. Surfactant is a material normally produced by the lung that spreads like a film over the tiny air sacs allowing them to stay open. Open air sacs are essential for oxygen to enter the blood from the lung and for carbon dioxide to be released from the blood into the lung for exhalation.

При възрастни спокойно може да остане само "затруднено дишане" или "нарушения в дишането".
