Prophylactic CPAP in the Delivery Room (DR) to Prevent Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN) among Infants Born via Elective CS (ECS), a Prospective RCT

Background: TTN from delayed clearance of fetal lung fluid (FLF) is common NICU admission among FT infants and require clinical management involving expensive resources,excessive and empiric antibiotics use. The increased risk of TTN among ECS born infants (CS in absence of labor) is a consequence of having excessive FLF with subsequent decreased release of counter regulatory hormones at delivery.
