5 day old baby girl with respiratory distress, does this pass?

Depends on variables: The answer is somewhat dependent on the situation.A kid born with respiratory distress can often be treated with good outcome depending on the cause. Premature lung problems are easier to resolve than those from a lung that didn't form from low amniotic fluid. Respiratory problems during fetal sepsis (blood infection) is less predictable than most. Best ask your doc.

Workup/Management: There are many conditions that may contribute to respiratory problems early in life. Your daughter's symptoms indicate that a further work up is needed. This may include a chest radiograph, monitoring her arterial blood gas/O2 saturation, metabolic and nervous systems. By day 5 the 'ductus' should have closed, and her O2 saturation on room air should be 95% or more, if she was born at term. Congr
