متلازمة تسرّع التنفس العابر عند الوليد وعوامل الخطورة

Transient tachypnea of the newborn is a common disease in newborns throughout the world, justifying the increasing concern about this syndrome. Our study involved (83 newborns) with the diagnosis of transient tachypnea, who had been admitted to the Department of Neonatal – perinatal care at Al ASSAD UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL between 1/4/2007 and 1/10/2008. Results showed that the masculine gender, cesarean section, and low Apgar score at minute 1 were the major risk factors for (TTN), and the tachypnea and retractions were the major clinical findings while the hyperinflation appears in almost all the chest X-rays . The laboratory findings showed a little decrease in the PH values of blood gases. It also showed that treatment with intravenous furosemide relatively decreased the hospitalization period.
