- Often seen in C-sections due to lack of resorption of fetal lung fluid
- Presents as tachypnea shortly after birth
| Diagnosis | Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) | Respiratory distress syndrome | Persistent pulmonary hypertension |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pathophysiology | Alveolar fluid not cleared properly at birth | Alveolar collapse and atelectasis due to lack of surfactant | Right to left shunting due to high pulmonary vascular resistance resulting in hypoxia |
| Clinical features | Tachypnea resolves by day 2 | Respiratory distress (premature birth) | Tachypnea and cyanosis |
| Chest x-ray | Perihilar linear streaking bilaterally | Ground glass (reticulogranular), air bronchograms, decreased lung volumes | Clear lung fields, decreased pulmonary vascularity |
