Causes of Transient Tachypnea Of Newborn
Before birth, a baby's lungs are normally filled with amniotic fluid. During labor, chemical signals tell the lungs to start removing the fluid. When the baby passes through the birth canal, the chest is squeezed. That pressure may help clear some of the fluid from the lungs. After birth, the baby may also cough some of the fluid out. Once the baby starts to breathe, air fills the lungs and helps clear out any remaining fluid. Fluid might not clear from lungs quickly enough if :
- The baby doesn't respond well to the chemical signals during labor
- Fluid isn't squeezed out of the lungs in the birth canal
