What Treatments are Available for TTN?

Treatment for TTN is largely supportive and focuses on ensuring adequate oxygenation and respiratory support. Common interventions include:
- Oxygen therapy: To maintain appropriate oxygen levels.
- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): In more severe cases to keep the airways open.
- Monitoring: Continuous observation of respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and overall condition.
In most cases, TTN resolves without the need for aggressive intervention, and neonates recover fully within a few days.
