Presentation
Peripheral air trapping is present, leading to increased lung volume and scattered atelectasis. Small bilateral pleural effusions may be present. Air leak is rare. The chest x-ray returns to normal in 48-72 hours. [virtualpediatrichospital.org]
Infants present in respiratory distress, classically with grunting and nasal flaring, within the first six hours of life. There can be mild cyanosis. [radiopaedia.org]
OBJECTIVES: To prospectively compare outcomes of infants presented with classic TTN who were treated with or denied from intravenous antibiotics. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted on all infants admitted with classic TTN. [content.iospress.com]

The differential diagnosis of TTN would include infant respiratory distress syndrome, meconium aspiration, neonatal pneumonia, and causes of pulmonary edema (including left-right shunt with failure, anomalous venous drainage, etc.). [advancedradteaching.com]
Other causes include pneumonia, compensatory respiratory alkalosis as the body tries to “blow off” excess carbon dioxide, respiratory insufficiency, lesions in the respiratory control center of the brain, and salicylate poisoning. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
- Cough
Infants with TTN are often lethargic at birth, resulting in a depressed cough effort and accumulation of airway secretions and mucus. The typical baby with TTN usually has good Apgar scores at birth. [thoracickey.com]
The baby's blood absorbs the lung fluid, or the baby coughs the fluid out. The fluid is usually cleared out of the lungs over several hours. Some babies have extra fluid or absorb the fluid too slowly. [summitmedicalgroup.com]

After birth, your baby’s cough, as well as air filling their lungs, should expel the remaining amniotic fluid. However, sometimes the fluid doesn’t leave the lungs as quickly and completely as it should. [healthline.com]
- Labored Breathing
Some newborns have very fast or labored breathing in the first few hours of life because of a lung condition called transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN). [kidshealth.org]
Common symptoms of this condition include: rapid breathing, which means over 60 breaths per minute labored breathing, including grunting and moaning nostril flaring bluish skin ( cyanosis ) the appearance of the chest sinking under the ribcage with each [healthline.com]

Symptoms of transient tachypnea of the newborn include tachypnea, intracostal and subcostal retractions, grunting, nasal flaring, and possible cyanosis. [merckmanuals.com]
There can be mild cyanosis. Amniotic fluid is normally expressed from the lungs during vaginal delivery and then absorbed after birth. [radiopaedia.org]
Clinically tachypnea, expiratory grunting, substernal retraction, and mild cyanosis are seen. Etiology/Pathophysiology: Retention or delay in clearing fetal lung liquid. [virtualpediatrichospital.org]

- Cesarean Section
The condition is particularly common after elective cesarean section. Conventional treatment involves supplemental oxygen, withholding enteral feeds and administration of intravenous fluids and antibiotics. [eurekaselect.com]
Rates of maternal morbidities and cesarean section without labor were higher in the late preterms. [clinicaladvisor.com]
When the thoracic compression is lacking or inefficient, such as in delivery via cesarean section or a precipitous delivery, there is retention and subsequent delay in the resorption of normal fetal lung liquid. [virtualpediatrichospital.org]
A large proportion of newborns (almost 60% of the cases) were born via cesarean section. [elsevier.es]
Conclusion: Gestational age, birth weight, cesarean section, and Apgar score were related to TTN in our study. [ci.nii.ac.jp]

Atelectasis can be prevented by use of CPAP when using high oxygen concentrations (>40%) but carries its own risk of air leaks. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Treatment
Conventional treatment involves supplemental oxygen, withholding enteral feeds and administration of intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Rarely, infants require CPAP and mechanical ventilation. [eurekaselect.com]
Clinical treatment with antibotics was also similar between the groups (treatment 73%, control 40%, P =0.29). Figure 2 Mean (s.d.) of maximum respiratory rate during study observation period. [nature.com]

Prognosis
Hence lactate,LDH and Cys-C can be used for early diagnosis of TTN and early treatment with better prognosis. [omicsonline.org]
