Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Pediatrics - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The very first breaths of a newborn are distressed, but within minutes the respiration settles and becomes regular. There are many factors which can affect this transition from dependant fetal respiration to independent newborn respiration. Aim: To study maternal causes of neonatal respiratory distress admitted in the NICU. Mateiral and Methods: It was conducted at Department of Pediatrics, Government Medical College, Latur, for a period of two years from 1st August 2014 to 31st July 2016. It was a prospective study of consecutively selected patient less than 1 yr of age. Conclusion: Caesarean section was the most common predisposing factor associated with the development of respiratory distress in neonates. Antenatal risk factors increase the incidence of RD.
