Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn treatment in Puebla

Transient RDS, or transient respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn (also called transient tachypnea), is a short-lived respiratory alteration that appears shortly after birth due to the slow reabsorption of the fluid that occupied the baby's lungs in the womb.

Frequent signs: rapid breathing, mild effort to breathe and, at times, respiratory sounds in the first hours of life.

Evolution: it is usually a self-limited condition that is observed and closely monitored during the first days.

Which specialists treat it? Neonatology and pediatrics accompany the newborn, with support from pulmonology when necessary. As happens in the neonatal period, close professional monitoring is the best way to care for the baby in these first moments.
