Newborns may face several respiratory challenges, including:
- Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN): Caused by delayed clearance of lung fluid, leading to rapid breathing. - Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS): Often seen in premature infants due to insufficient surfactant production, resulting in difficulty breathing. - Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS): Occurs when a newborn inhales meconium-stained amniotic fluid, leading to airway obstruction and inflammation.
