neonatal respiratory distress

What are the Causes of Neonatal Respiratory Distress?

There are several causes of neonatal respiratory distress, including:
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS): Often seen in premature infants due to a deficiency of surfactant, a substance that helps keep the lungs inflated.
Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN): A temporary condition caused by delayed clearance of fetal lung fluid.
Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS): Occurs when a newborn inhales a mixture of meconium and amniotic fluid into the lungs.
Pneumonia: A lung infection that can occur either before birth (congenital) or after birth.
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN): A condition where the newborn's circulation system doesn’t adapt to breathing outside the womb.
