One of the most prevalent issues that newborns face in their first few days of life is respiratory distress. Numerous factors, not just respiratory or cardiovascular ones, might induce respiratory distress in a newborn. The newborn experiences respiratory failure if it is unable to maintain the additional effort required to meet its respiratory needs. Infants with the condition exhibit noticeable tachypnea. Impaired breathing (respiratory acidosis) or oxygenation (cyanosis) are two possible symptoms of this malfunction. Initiating respiratory assistance when necessary and assessing the newborn for the degree and cause of respiratory distress are both components of proper therapy.
