Before birth, the baby's lungs are filled with fluid and babies do not use the lungs to breathe, as the oxygen comes from the placenta. As delivery approaches, the lungs begin to absorb the fluid. After vaginal delivery, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut after a delay that allows some of the blood in the umbilical cord and placenta to flow back into the baby. Meanwhile, as the baby breathes for the first time, the lungs fill with air and more fluid is pushed out. However, it does not always work out that way. Some babies need to be delivered via cesarean section, a surgical delivery requiring incisions through the abdominal and uterine walls. After cesarean section, the mother is often unable to hold the baby close right away as a result of her own post-surgical care. Moreover, a baby born by planned cesarean section may have breathing problems because of extra fluid staying in the lungs. Thus, the baby must breathe quicker and harder to get enough oxygen enter into the lungs. Although the baby is usually getting better within one or two days, the treatment requires close monitoring, breathing help, and nutritional help as the baby is too tired to suck and swallow milk. Sometimes, the baby cannot recover well and show greater trouble breathing needing intensive care. This further separates the mother and her baby. A possible mean to help the baby to adapt better after cesarean section while staying close to the mother is to delay cord clamping when efficient breathing is established, either spontaneously or after receiving breathing help at birth. In this study, we intend to test this procedure in term infants born by planned cesarean section and see whether the technique helps the baby to better adapt after birth and to better initiate a deep bond with the mother.
Planned caesarean birth is a risk factor for the development of neonatal respiratory distress commonly known as transient tachypnoea of the newborn. This is due to the absence of labor physiology which facilitates the clearance of fetal lung fluid. We hypothesized that by mimicking flexion induced by uterine contractions by manually performing knee-to-chest flexion directly at birth to achieve expulsion of excess lung liquid, we could reduce the incidence of respiratory distress in term children born by planned CS. The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether performing a knee-to-chest flexion maneuver directly after elective caesarean section will decrease the incidence of respiratory distress in term infants when compared to the standard care
The goal of this single-centre longitudinal observational study is to create reference values for diastolic function parameters in neonates born at 35 weeks' gestation or above, and to assess the influence of pre-defined antenatal, intrapartum, maternal, and neonatal factors on cardiac function. The main question it aims to answer are: - What are the normal reference ranges for parameters of diastolic cardiac function in neonates? - How are these influenced by maternal, intrapartum and neonatal factors? - Do the diastolic changes noted during the first two days of life persist into infancy? Participants will have four echocardiographic assessments in total: - Two during the first 48 hours of life (prior to discharge home) - Two during infancy (as an outpatient)
This study aims at determining whether diaphragm ultrasound examining diaphragm thickening fraction, excursion and density before and after surgery can predict respiratory complications in the postoperative period. Patients scheduled for major elective abdominal, pelvic or vascular surgery will be included in the study and diaphragm ultrasound is performed before surgery and after surgery in the postoperative ward. Physiological parameters, laboratory parameters, data on surgery and anesthesia and comorbidities will be registered. Complications such as pneumonia, desaturation, need for intubation and other respiratory events up to 30 days will be registered and later correlated with the diaphragm measurements.
Patients hospitalized with tachypnea, defined as respiratory rate ≥20/ min, have substantial mortality and may suffer from different conditions, including acute heart failure (HF). Symptoms of HF can be difficult to identify and ~15% of patients with HF will not be correctly diagnosed by the treating physician in the Emergency Department. Biomarkers like B-type natriuretic peptides and cardiac troponins improve diagnostic accuracy and risk stratification. Whether early, structured biomarker assessment and structured feedback in the patient's electronic health records improve management and outcomes among unselected patients with tachypnea have previously not been explored in a randomized controlled trial. The main research question of the study is to determine whether early structured biomarker assessment in unselected patients with tachypnea extends the time to the first event for either (1) all-cause readmission or (2) all-cause mortality; i.e. time to the combined endpoint, compared to the current strategy/standard care
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is the most common cause of respiratory distress in fullterm newborn. TTN is a diagnosis of exclusion, It is primarily diagnosed based on medical history and typical clinical presentation. Lung ultrasonography is an accurate, non invasive and reliable tool for diagnosing TTN. Cardiometry is presently the only tool to evaluate thoracic fluid content continuously and noninvasively at the bedside.

Inhaled Beta-2 Agonist Versus Epinephrine For Treatment of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn: Randomized controlled trial to assess:
Neonatal respiratory morbidities represent a common group of post natal complications including respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnea of newborn, and persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn. It is thought that preoperative vaginal misoprostol administration may decrease the incidence of neonatal respiratory morbidity especially transient tachypnea of newborn. And therefore, it may decrease the incidence of admission to neonatal intensive care units for respiratory causes.
