Def of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
- It is a self-limited disease present within first few hours of life with tachypnea and increased oxygen requirement.
Incidence of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
- It can occur in both term and preterm neonates.
- it is the most common cause of respiratory distress in the full-term infant.
Etiology of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
Unknown, but it is believed to be due to delayed drainage of fetal lung fluid.
RF for Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
The incidence may be increased in:
โช Male infants + Infants born via caesarean section.
CP of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
- Tachypnea immediately after birth and persists for 24-48 h.
- Occasionally grunting and nasal flaring.
INVx for Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
INVx for Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
- Labs
Arterial blood gases reveals:
โช Respiratory acidosis and mild-to moderate hypoxemia.
INVx for Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
- Rads
TTT of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
- TTN is generally a benign, self-limited disease that usually responds well to oxygen therapy.
- Mechanical ventilation seldom โrareโ is needed.
- Many infants require nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support.
Prognosis of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN)
Full recovery is expected within 2 to 5 days
Incidence of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
- It occurs in approximately 10% to 25% of all deliveries.
- It occurs almost exclusively in term and post-term deliveries.
Pathogenesis of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome

INVx for Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
TTT of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
TTT of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
- Immediate TTT
- Suctioning the oropharynx and trachea before the first breath and before resuscitation if the baby is flaccid and not vigorous.
TTT of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
- General TTT
- Endotracheal intubation and suctioning may be indicated to remove meconium from the airway if there is airway obstruction.
- Empty the stomach to avoid further aspiration.
