| | Tachypnea (ie, respiratory rate exceeding 60/min) may be accompanied by chest retractions, expiratory grunting, or cyanosis relieved by minimal oxygen. | | | Limitations of Techniques: Initially, it may be difficult to distinguish transient tachypnea from other causes of respiratory distress of the newborn. | | | The clinical course is relatively benign compared with the severity suggested by chest films. |

| | Inspection - Abnormal Respiratory Rates And Patterns |
| | Although the exam of the respiratory system is important when the chief complaint is an abnormal respiratory rate or pattern, emphasis should also be on the general survey, and gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and head and neck examinations. | | | Tachycardia, accompanying dyspnea, tachypnea, chest pain and shock suggest pulmonary embolism, or low output heart disease. | | | Observe the shape of the chest: Barrel chest suggests obstructive lung disease. |

| | A newborn with transient tachypnea has respiratory distress with rapid breathing, drawing in of the chest wall during breathing in and "grunting" during breathing out, and may develop a bluish discoloration of the skin (cyanosis) if the blood oxygen levels become low. | | | This disorder usually occurs in newborns born a few weeks before term or at term. | | | Transient tachypnea of the newborn (transient rapid breathing, neonatal wet-lung syndrome) is temporary difficulty with breathing and low blood oxygen levels due to excessive fluid in the lungs after birth. |

| | This enables a newborn infant to start using their own lungs to provide the oxygen they need as soon as possible after birth. | | | Transient tachypnea, also known as transient rapid breathing and neonatal wet lung syndrome, is a temporary condition due to a slower than normal re-absorption of the fluid present in the newborn infant's lungs. | | | Symptoms of transient tachypnea are those of respiratory difficulties (which does not alway imply low oxygen) and the usual treatment is the provision of oxygen. |
