THE TERM NEONATE WITH RESPIRATORY DISTRESS N. Ambalavanan MD University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Pediatrics Division of Neonatology May 2003
Overview of talk • The emphasis is on evaluation and diagnosis • Management will depend mainly on the diagnosis
EVALUATION OF NEONATES WITH RESPIRATORY DISTRESS History Premature delivery Postmature delivery Fetal distress Meconium-stained fluid Maternal diabetes Oligohydramnios/ polyhydramnios Decreased fetal movements Traumatic delivery Drugs Cesarean section Vaginal bleeding
EVALUATION OF NEONATES WITH RESPIRATORY DISTRESS Physical Exam Major signs: cyanosis, tachypnea grunting, retraction, flaring Stridor, wheezes, hoarseness, and other airway findings Cardiovascular assessment Blood pressure Neurologic assessment Abdominal assessment Chest wall assessment Temperature
EVALUATION OF NEONATES WITH RESPIRATORY DISTRESS Laboratory Workup Chest radiograph Arterial blood gas Blood glucose Central hematocrit White blood cell and differential If indicated: Blood culture Echocardiogram Other diagnostic imaging

Management • Management depends on diagnosis • Maintenance of adequate gas exchange • Maintain Airway • Oxygenation and Carbon dioxide elimination • Adequate pH • Adequate cardiac output and perfusion • Surgery • Pneumothorax/Cysts/Diaphragmatic hernia • Supportive therapy • Thermoregulation, Nutrition, Fluid and Electrolyte balance, etc • Antimicrobial therapy
Maintenance of gas exchange • Respiratory management depends on diagnosis • Usual sequence: No support O2 hood CPAP Mechanical ventilation (conventional) High Frequency ventilation add Nitric Oxide ECMO • Surfactant may be useful in term infants with respiratory failure (Lotze et al. J Pediatr 132:40, 1998; Greenough. Eur J Pediatr 159:635, 2000)
Indications for mechanical ventilation • Clinical:Absolute: Apnea (intractable), gasping, cyanosis not responsive to O2 by hood Relative: Severe tachypnea / retractions • Laboratory (while on CPAP or FiO2 > 0.7): pH < 7.25 with PCO2> 60 mm Hg (or) PO2< 45- 50 and / or SpO2 < 85 % • Other: Surgical procedures, compromised airway
Term infants with PPHN Confirm diagnosis of PPHN Correct underlying abnormalities (hypothermia, acidosis, hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia, polycythemia) Conservative mechanical ventilation Trial of hyperventilation If low PO2, trial of rescue therapies MetabolicHFVSurfactantVasodilatorsECMO Alkalosis ?
