Feedback:
For the newborn with transient tachypnea of the newborn, the nurse monitors oxygen saturation levels via routine pulse oximetry. Supplemental oxygen is given, if indicated, according to the health provider's order. Frequent vital signs are taken and the nurse observes nutritional intake and hydration levels. The infant with respiratory distress syndrome typically is transferred to a neonatal intensive care unit for complex, multidisciplinary therapies, including IV antibiotics, total parenteral nutrition, and administration of high concentrations of oxygen. Oxygenation using hood, cannula, or mechanical ventilation via ET tube is used according to the severity of symptoms. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatments and exogenous surfactant by ET tube may also be included.
