Inhaled Salbutamol for the Treatment of Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn

Background: Transient tachypnea of the newborn [TTN] is a common physiologic lung disorder. Stimulation of β-adrenergic receptors could alleviate the condition. Aim of the work: The study was undertaken to assess the efficacy and safety of inhaled salbutamol in reduction of TTN, oxygen treatment an...
