respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)
The neonate with respiratory distress syndrome may present with clinical signs of cyanosis, tachypnea or apnea, nasal flaring, chest wall retractions, or audible expiratory grunts. Bradycardia is not an associated finding with RDS. Acrocyanosis is the bluish discoloration of the hands and feet and is not uncommon in the first few hours of life.
hiatal herni
Short episodes of apnea
Coughing and wheezing
Clinical signs/symptoms associated with hiatal hernia specifically include vomiting, coughing, wheezing, short periods of apnea, and failure to thrive. Excessive oral secretions are a clinical manifestation of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula. Bowel sounds heard over the chest are a clinical manifestation associated with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Hiccupping and spitting up after a meal is a clinical manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux.
