Abstract:
Both transient tachypnea of newborn (TTPN) and respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) are the com mon reasons of neonatal respiratory dyspnea,but their treatments and prognosis are much different.It is difficult to differentiate them by clinical features and chest X-ray while the lung ultrasound can see it easily.In lung ultrasonography images,the TTPN mainly manifested with pulmonary edema,while the RDS mainly manifested with lung consolidation with air bronchograms.Thus,it is important to perform lung ultrasound routinely at the bed side.
