Perinatal period refers to the time before and after birth. It is a critical period for the development of a baby's respiratory system. Respiratory conditions that occur during this period can have long-term effects on the child's health. While some respiratory conditions are well-known, such as asthma and bronchitis, there are other conditions that can occur in the perinatal period that are less known but equally important to identify and treat.
It is essential to identify and treat respiratory conditions that occur in the perinatal period promptly. Failure to do so can result in long-term health problems for the child. If you notice any signs or symptoms of respiratory distress in your newborn, seek medical attention immediately.
In conclusion, respiratory conditions originating in the perinatal period can have long-term effects on a child's health. TTN, PIE, MAS, and CLD are some of the less known but equally important conditions to identify and treat promptly. If you suspect your newborn is experiencing respiratory distress, seek medical attention immediately.
