Objective:
To identify the obstetrics and neonatal risk factors associated with transient tachypnea of the newborn.
Patients And Methods:
Case-control study of 110 neonates with transient tachypnea and 110 newborns controls, between May and October 2000, in the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara Dr. Juan I. Menchaca. The diagnosis of transient tachypnea was done by clinical and radiology data and exclusion of the other causes of respiratory distress. The exposure was documented by a direct interview to the mother and clinical information of the clinical expedient. The association was measured with the odds ratios and confidence interval of 95%.
Results:
The frequency of transient tachypnea was of 2 percent newborn alive. The risk factors that were associated with transient tachypnea was: low Apgar score at minute (OR: 33.74, CI 95%: 4.73-681.52), premature rupture of amniotic membranes (OR: 3.65, CI 95%: 1.53-8.90), cesarean section (OR: 2.01, CI 95%: 1.14-3.57) and masculine gender (OR: 2.02, CI 95%: 1.14-3.60). It was more frequent in the cases the antecedent of diabetes mellitus and bronchial asthma.
Conclusions:
The results suggest that it's necessary to improve the obstetrics surveillance to diminish the frequency of low Apgar score and risk factors associated with transient tachypnea of the newborn.

Assessment of Ventilation I: Respiratory Rate
A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.
