Objective: By the end of this lecture, the students will be able to: • Enlist causes of respiratory distress in a neonate • Identify signs and symptoms of respiratory illness • Outline a working management plan

Respiratory distress of new born Definition: • Respiratory rate > 60 cycles per second

Respiratory distress of new born Definition: • Respiratory rate > 60 cycles per second with chest indrawing

Respiratory distress Syndrome (RDS) • • Definition: Preterm neonate presenting with Tachypnea (R. R

Respiratory distress Syndrome (RDS) • • Definition: Preterm neonate presenting with Tachypnea (R. R > 60/ minute) Chest retractions Cyanosis CXR with reticulo-granular pattern and air bronchograms

Incidence and risk factors • • 25 %of all neonates less than 32 weeks

Incidence and risk factors • • 25 %of all neonates less than 32 weeks 20 % of all neonatal deaths Risk factors are Prematurity, male gender, Chorio-amniotis, IDM, birth asphyxia, LSCS and twin pregnancy , hypothermia

Specific Management: • • • Warm humidified oxygen CPAP IPPV Surfactant Complications include: IVH, pneumothorax, pneumonia

Birth Asphyxia • Sudden hypoxia at birth due to failure of initiation of normal

Birth Asphyxia • Sudden hypoxia at birth due to failure of initiation of normal breathing • 3. 3% incidence
