ABSTRACT
Respiratory distress is indeed a critical issue necessitating emergency and intensive care during the neonatal period. The etiology of respiratory distress plays a paramount role in determining the course and prognosis of the condition. Achieving a definitive diagnosis and initiating timely treatment are essential for the successful management of neonates with respiratory distress. While there are numerous potential causes of respiratory distress in the neonatal period, pulmonary factors are often the primary culprits. In the initial evaluation of a newborn experiencing respiratory distress, first-line investigations should encompass essential diagnostic tools such as pulse oximetry, chest X-ray, and comprehensive blood tests, blood culture, and arterial blood gas analysis. The primary goal of initial therapy when dealing with a newborn afflicted by respiratory distress is to resuscitate the infant, alleviate the burden of breathing, optimize tissue oxygenation, and prevent the onset of hypoxia, hypercapnia, and acidosis.
