TTN vs RDS

Neonatal Resources, the Podcast

Listen to Michelle and Darla compare and contrast transient tachypnea of the newborn with respiratory distress syndrome. They talk about:

• Risk factors
• Who is most likely to be impacted
• The importance of developmental care
• Clinical management

There is quite a bit of surfactant discussion, and to be fair, surfactant is often a huge component of NICU management. Check out the Get Your Pens blog To Surf or Not to Surf (if you don’t see a hyperlink, check back, it’s still in process) for a deep dive into methods of surfactant administration, what makes artificial surfactants work, and how the types of surfactant differ.

For visual folks and side by side comparison…Get Your Pens.
