Abstract

Results and Discussion: The study showed among the 300 newborns admitted in NICU, 102 (34 %) cases were admitted with RD. Of them, 61 babies (60%) were delivered vaginally and 41 (40%) by lower segment caesarean section. There were 44 (43%) pre-term babies, 56 (55%) term and 2 (2%) post-term neonates who were admitted with RD. The most common causes of NRD were transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN) 44%. The majority of cases clinically presented with tachypnea, flaring of alae nasi, and chest indrawing. The RD resolved on the 4 th day in majority of cases. Conclusion: Increased respiratory rate along with chest in drawing or grunt was the presentation of RD in the majority of cases. The survival rate was 98% among RD cases admitted to NICU. TTN was the most common cause and was observed maximally in babies delivered vaginally (70%).
