TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn and Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension A1 - Beaudoin, Ebony A2 - Zaoutis, Lisa B. A2 - Chiang, Vincent W. Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Respiratory distress occurs frequently in newborns and can be a presenting symptom of both benign and life-threatening diseases. Failure of any of a complex series of cardiovascular and pulmonary modifications that help the neonate transition to extrauterine life can manifest as neonatal respiratory distress. Clinical features of a newborn in respiratory distress include tachypnea of more than 60 breaths per minute; cyanosis; expiratory grunting; intercostal, subcostal, or supraclavicular retractions; and nasal flaring. Although the causes of respiratory distress are numerous, this chapter focuses on a relatively common cause of respiratory distress known as transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and the identification of a more serious condition, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).
