Neonatal respiratory distress: recent progress in understanding pathogenesis and treatment outcomes
نویسنده
چکیده
Respiratory distress in newborn infants is common immediately after birth and is transient in most cases. However, when it persists, diagnostic procedures to determine the etiology and therapy are required to resolve the underlying problem. There are three common disorders that cause respiratory distress after birth: transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Here, I reviewed recent papers on the pathogenesis and treatment of these neonatal respiratory diseases.
