Abstract
Postnatal respiratory complications among term infants are common. The most commonly reported cause of neonatal respiratory distress is transient tachypnea of the newborn. Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a self-limiting disorder that requires minimal intervention, and resolves over a 24- to 72-h period without significant morbidity. However, it may cause severe morbidity (i.e. hypoxia, respiratory distress, and pulmonary air leak), unnecessary antibiotic use, and parental anxiety. Throughout gestation, the presence of an adequate amount of lung fluid is critical for normal lung growth and for the development of the fetal lung to complete transition from intra uterine to extra uterine life. Most interstitial lung liquid moves into the pulmonary circulation and some drains via the lung lymphatic vessels.
