MATCHING
The clinical scenarios associated with respiratory diseases result from the pathophysiologic mechanisms caused (or activated) by the anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with the disorder. Using the "Yes" or "No" items, match the major anatomic alterations of the lungs that cause the clinical scenario associated with Transient Tachypnea Of The Newborn (TTN).
-Alveolar Consolidation Clinical Scenario

Question

This, in turn, causes increased airway resistance and transient tachypnea in the newborn.
