Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TTN (Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn) is characterized by excessive bronchial secretions and incomplete absorption of pulmonary fluids, leading to respiratory distress in the newborn. These anatomic alterations can lead to difficulty in breathing, increased respiratory effort, and tachypnea. However, TTN is a self-limiting condition that usually resolves within 48-72 hours without any specific treatment.
