Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TTN (Transient tachypnea of the newborn) is a transient respiratory condition that occurs in newborns. It typically resolves within a few days without any treatment. TTN is not associated with any major anatomic alterations of the lungs, such as granulomas. However, TTN is characterized by retained fetal lung fluid, which results in lung immaturity and, in turn, causes respiratory distress in the newborn.
