Transient tachypnoea of newborn - what does this mean
Transient tachypnoea of newborn is a condition in which a newborn baby experiences rapid and shallow breathing shortly after birth. it is caused by the accumulation of fluid in the lungs due to the baby's transition from the amniotic fluid-filled environment of the uterus to the air-filled environment of the outside world.
What happens during the disease - transient tachypnoea of newborn
Transient tachypnoea of the newborn is a condition that is caused by the accumulation of fluid in the airways of the newborn. this is due to the lack of surfactant production by the lungs of the newborn, which causes the alveoli to collapse and not be able to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide properly. this leads to an increased respiratory rate as the newborn works harder to try and exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.
