RESPIRATORY DISTRESS IN THE FULL TERM NEONATE
![Page 2: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
OBJECTIVES
1. Informal case-based learning2. Differentiate between cardiac and respiratory
causes of cyanosis3. Describe the primary parenchymal diseases that
can cause respiratory distress in the term neonate
4. Describe the primary developmental lung abnormalities that can cause respiratory distress in the term (or near-term) neonate

RULE OUT CARDIAC DISEASE
• Pulse Oximetry Test• Determines whether formal hyperoxia test is useful• Cyanosis without marked respiratory distress and O2 sat <
85% in room air and 100% oxygen suggests intracardiac shunt
• If O2 sat increases to > 85% on 100% oxygen, a full hyperoxia test should be performed
• Hyperoxia Test• Obtain baseline right radial (preductal) arterial blood gas
measurement with baby breathing room air and 100% O2
• A PaO2 > 300 mm Hg on 100% O2 is normal, 150-300 mm Hg suggests pulmonary disease, and 50 -150 mm Hg suggests cardiac disease (or severe pulmonary hypertension)
• ECHO

HINTS ON CHEST RADIOGRAPH
• RDS• Mostly premies, but seen in term (rare) and near-term• Reticular granular pattern and air bronchograms
• MAS• Patchy areas of atelectasis due to complete airway
obstruction, interspersed with areas of air trapping due to partial obstruction and a one-way valve phenomenon
• White out, and/or air leak syndrome
• Neonatal pneumonia• Classical patchy infiltrates, but the findings also may be
indistinguishable from RDS• Pleural effusion supports diagnosis of PNA, seen 67%
![Page 5: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
HINTS ON CHEST RADIOGRAPH
• TTN• Diffuse parenchymal infiltrates, a “wet silhouette” around
heart, or accumulation of fluid in various intralobar spaces (fissure)
• Indicate increased pulmonary interstitial, alveolar, or pleural water content
• CHD• Cardiac enlargement, unusual silhouette (snowman, boot)
• Congenital lymphangiectasia• Lungs may appear normal, overinflated or exhibit a coarse
interstitial infiltrate due to distended, abnormal lymphatics• Effusion (chylous)

POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS RELATED TO RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES
![Page 7: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CASE
• 1 hour old FT baby boy with tachypnea (RR 70s) born via C/S, GBS neg• PE:• Moderate retractions• O2 sat 88% on RA• O2 sat 100% on 100%
![Page 8: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
TRANSIENT TACHYPNEA OF THE NEWBORN (TTN)
• Relatively benign, self-limited disease • 11:1000 births, M>F• Increased risk:• M, C/S, perinatal asphyxia, cord prolapse, IDM, maternal
asthma or anesthesia during labor
• Tachypnea (>60bpm) shortly after birth, lasts 1-5d• Unclear etiology:• Delayed resorption of fetal lung fluid related to elevated
CVP, delayed clearance of pulmonary liquid by lymphatics• Mild asphyxia resulting in mild pulmonary capillary leak
and to myocardial dysfunction with elevated filling pressure
• Almost never requires mechanical ventilation

![Page 10: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CASE
• 1 hour old FT baby boy born via NSVD who required PPV in DR, increasing WOB, retractions, required intubation
![Page 11: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
RDS IN TERM INFANT: SP-B DEFICIENCY
• Congenital abnormalities of surfactant proteins• Most common is deficiency of surfactant protein B (SP-B)• Autosomal recessive, frame-shift mutation chromosome 2,
• Severe respiratory distress after birth• CXR identical to RDS• Continued distress despite mechanical ventilation,
oxygen, repeated surfactant, corticosteroids• Prognosis is poor, most die within 1-6 months• Only effective therapy (although neither available
for nor consented to by all) is lung transplantation
![Page 12: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CASE
• 1 hour old FT baby girl born via NSVD, meconium, who emerged limp, was suctioned below cords x1• Now with grunting, retractions, desats, requiring
intubation
![Page 13: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MECONIUM ASPIRATION SYNDROME
• Incidence: • 13% of all live births complicated by meconium-stained
amniotic fluid, and of these, 4% to 5% develop MAS
• Mechanism• Direct toxicity of the meconium chemical pneumonitis• Inactivation of surfactant• Activation of complement• Vasoconstriction• Partial/complete airway obstruction by thick meconium• Secondary pulmonary hypertension
![Page 14: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MECONIUM ASPIRATION SYNDROME
• Management• NRP guidelines, endotracheal suction below cords if limp• Intubation, mechanical ventilation• Surfactant• RCTs shown that surfactant reduces need for ECMO
• iNO• Since the approval of iNO by the US FDA in 2001, there has
been a steady decrease in the use of ECMO for neonates with MAS
• HFOV +/-• Reduction in complications from air-leak syndromes (PTX)
![Page 15: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

PULMONARY CAUSES FOR RESPIRATORY DISTRESS
Parenchymal conditions:•Transient tachypnea of the newborn•Meconium aspiration syndrome, other aspirations•Respiratory distress syndrome•Pneumonia•Pulmonary edema•Pulmonary hemorrhage•Pulmonary lymphangiectasia
![Page 18: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CASE
• FT baby boy born via repeat C/S with increased WOB, retractions• Requires intubation• Transillumination neg
![Page 19: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CONGENITAL LOBAR EMPHYSEMA
• Accounts for 50% of structural lesions causing respiratory distress in the newborn
• M:F 2:1, associated anomalies 14-40% (often CHD)• Air trapping and overdistention of segments and
lobes of the lungs• Prenatal diagnosis via high-res U/S, MRI or CT• Clinical signs/sx include respiratory distress,
mediastinal shift, wheezing• Upper lobes afftected 90% time• Symptomatic lesions need surgical resection• Asymptomatic lesions may be watched carefully
![Page 20: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CASE
• FT baby girl born via repeat C/S• Respiratory distress• Intubated• CXR appears ok, but on close inspection reveals small dense mass LLL• CT with contrast shown
![Page 21: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PULMONARY SEQUESTRATION
• Abnormal lung tissue with no connection to normal tracheobronchial tree• Receives arterial blood supply from systemic
circulation, usually branch of the aorta• Mutation in Homeobox gene Hoxb-5, crucial for normal
airway branching/development• Intralobar vs extralobar
![Page 22: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
PULMONARY SEQUESTRATION
• Intralobar – lesion within lobe without separate pleura• 3x more common than extralobar• May be acquired (recurrent infection due to lack of pleura)• Lower lobe (95%), and in 55% of cases is on the left side• M=F
• Extralobar - discrete mass of pulmonary parenchyma outside pleural investment of lung• In 66% of the cases, left side, proximal to esophagus and
between lower lobe and diaphragm• M:F 3-4:1• >65% associated with anomalies (CDH, TAPVR, CHD, CCAM)
• Resection for both types necessary
![Page 23: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

CCAM/CPAM
• Multicystic mass of dilated bronchiolarlike spaces that proliferate at the expense of alveoli• Large lesions may obstruct venous return to heart,
causing fetal hydrops• Abnormal signaling/conjugation between developing
terminal bronchioles and alveolar mesenchyme• Mesenchymal & plt-derived GF
![Page 25: Respiratory distress In the full term neonate](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815723550346895dc4c2a3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CCAM/CPAM
• M=F, usually affects right side one lobe• Solid lesions worse prognosis than large cysts• Type 1 (75%) – small # of large cysts, 2-10cm, mucin• Type 2 - small cysts (<2cm), assoc anomalies, poor
outcomes• Type 3 – microscopic cysts, rare, appears solid on gross
exam• (Type 4 – acinar epithelium)
• Surgical resection for all types• 100% survival with surgery (without hydrops
fetalis)

CONGENITAL DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA (CDH)
Herniation of intestinal contents into thoracic cavityResults in pulmonary hypoplasia leading to respiratory distress
• 95% occur through posterior foramen of Bochdalek (lies posteriorly and lateral to spine); of these, 80% are on left side
1 : 4,000 birthsSigns/symptoms:
Cyanosis, severe respiratory distress, scaphoid abdomen
Usually seen during routine prenatal U/SL:H ratio, presence of liver or other organs in chest
Post delivery xray reveals intestinal loops in chest cavityImmediate intubation and gastric decompression is essential
to higher survival rates Intubation should be performed by most experienced team member

LARYNGEAL WEB
• Incomplete recanalization of the laryngotracheal tube during 3rd month of gestation (atresia – stenosis)
• Most commonly at level of vocal folds anteriorly• Sx: Mild dysphonia to significant airway obstruction• 30% associated airway anomalies (subglottic stenosis), 22q11
• Diagnosis – rigid laryngoscopy/bronchoscophy• Management• Ranges from observation to emergent tracheotomy• Lysis endoscopically using cold knife or laser• Endoscopic suturing of the cut edges or placement of a keel may
prevent restenosis in these cases• Thicker webs may require laryngofissure approach, with
postoperative stenting of the airway
