Whether you're prepping for exams or refreshing your clinical knowledge, this episode brings you the essential facts in a memorable, practical format. 👶 What is TTN? Transient Tachypnoea of the Newborn is a self-limiting respiratory disorder seen in the first hours after birth, caused by delayed clearance of fetal lung fluid. 🩺 Classic Presentation: 👶 Rapid breathing (60 breaths/min) 🌬️ Grunting, nasal flaring, mild chest retractions ⏳ Onset within hours of birth, resolving in 24–72 hours ❌ Cyanosis is usually not prominent 🧠 Mnemonic – MACMA (Key Risk Factors): M – Male sex A – Maternal Asthma C – Caesarean section (esp. without labour) M – Macrosomia A – Maternal Diabetes 📸 Chest X-ray Findings: 📈 Hyperinflated lungs 💧 Fluid in horizontal fissure 🌫️ “Wet silhouette” or streaky perihilar markings 🔍 Differentials to Consider: RDS (esp. in preterm infants – surfactant deficiency) Meconium Aspiration Syndrome Neonatal Pneumonia 🧪 Investigations: 🩻 Chest X-ray 💉 Blood gas (capillary or arterial) 📈 Monitor sats, RR, HR continuously 🩹 Management Approach: 👀 Observation + supportive care 💧 Oxygen if saturations drop 💨 CPAP in moderate/severe cases 🔄 Most recover within 72 hours without complications ✨ Prognosis: ✅ Excellent 💥 Full recovery expected 🔥 Rare complications (e.g., pneumothorax, superimposed infection) 📚 MSRA Revision Resources for TTN: 📄 Revision Notes:👉 https://www.passthemsra.com/topic/tra...
