Abstract:IntroductionAn inadequate clearance of lung fluid plays a key role in the pathogenesis of transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN).ObjectivesTo evaluate if left ventricular diastolic dysfunction contributes to reduced clearance of lung fluid in TTN.Materials and MethodsThis was a prospective, observational study. Echocardiography and lung ultrasound were performed at 2, 24 and 48 h of life (HoL) to assess biventricular function and calculate lung ultrasound score (LUS). Left atrial strain reservoir (LASr) prov… Show more
