C122.5 Patent Ductus Arteriosus
C122.6 Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn
Pathophysiology
?? ??? ?? ??
Risk factors
Cesarean delivery, prematurity, maternal diabetes
Clinical findings
- Tachypnea, increased work of breathing
- “?? 1-2??? ???? ???? ??? ?? ?? ?? ?? 80? ???”
- Clear breath sounds
- Chest X-ray
- Hyperinflation
- Increased pulmonary vascular markings or fluid in the fissures
- Parallel rib, flat diaphragm

Managment
- Supportive care (eg, oxygen, nutrition)
- Self-resolution in 1-3 days
C122.7 Aspiration of Foreign Material (Fetal Aspiration Syndrome, Aspiration Pneumonia)
C122.8 Meconium Aspiration
- Pathophysiology
- Fetal hypoxia -> intestinal ischemia -> increased bowel movement -> meconium
- Common cause of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn because it can lead to pulmonary vasoconstriction, which can lead to decreased pulmonary blood flow that leads to a vicious cycle leading to increased right to left shunting and increased PVR
- To help combat this pulmonary vasoconstriction, the infant should be treated with supplemental oxygen (increased/improved oxygenation leads to dilation of lung capillaries and decreased pulmonary vascular resistance)

C122.10 Diaphragmatic Hernia


Pulmonary hypoplasia & hypertension
Respiratory distress within hours of birth
Absent breath sounds ipsilateral to defect
Concave abdomen; baarrel-shaped chest
Management
- Endotracheal intubation
- Gastric decompensation (eg, nasogastric tube)
- Bag-and-mask ventilation is contraindicated b/c it pumps air into the GI tract, leading to further lung compression.
- Surgical correction
C122.11 Foramen of Morgagni Hernia
C122.12 Paraesophageal Hernia
C122.13 Eventration
C122.14 Extrapulmonary air leak: Pneumothorax, Pneumomediastinum, Pulmonary Interstitial Emphysema, Pneumopericardium
Etiology and pathophysiology
Risk factors: asthma exacerbation, respiratory infection, tall/thin/adolescent boy
Clinical manifestations
Pneumomediastinum
Acute chest pain, shortness of breath, cough
Subcutaneous emphysema
Hamman sign (crungching sound over heart)
Tension pneumothorax
Diagnosis
- Transillumination
- Increased brightness on the affected side.
Treatment
Spontaneous pneumothorax
Rest, pain control, and avoidance of maneuvers that increase pulmonary pressure (eg, Valsalva).
Symptoms typically resolve within days to weeks.
Tension pneumothorax
- Emergency needle thoracostomy to evacuate the intrapleural air.
- nCPAP
- Reduce mean airway pressure
- Discontinuing will worsen atelectasis and ditress
