Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Conditions:
Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn
TTN
Eligibility:
All Genders
28+ years
Brief Summary
The investigators hypothesize that ultrasonography of the newborn lung can be used as an effective diagnostic tool in neonates ≥ 28 weeks gestation with early symptoms of respiratory distress.

- FiO2 requirement \>21%
- intercostal/subcostal retractions
- grunting and/or nasal flaring
- If clinically warranted, a chest x-ray will be done as part of the workup for respiratory distress; these patients with CXR will be included in the study.
- Inclusion criteria for the control group will be gestational age ≥ 28 weeks with no symptoms of respiratory distress (defined above).
Exclusion
- neonates with prenatally diagnosed structural cardiac disease
- major multiple congenital anomalies
