Even when it is just a few weeks before term gestation, early birth has consequences, resulting in higher morbidity and mortality. Respiratory issues related to moderate prematurity include delayed neonatal transition to air breathing, respiratory distress resulting from delayed fluid clearance (transient tachypnea of the newborn), surfactant deficiency (respiratory distress syndrome), and pulmonary hypertension. Management approaches emphasize appropriate respiratory support to facilitate respiratory transition and minimize iatrogenic injury. Studies are needed to determine the impact of respiratory distress coupled with mild-moderate prematurity on long-term outcome.
