So Young Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(1):1-6.   Published online January 15, 2010
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) are the three most common disorders that cause respiratory distress after birth. An understanding of the pathophysiology of these disorders and the development of effective therapeutic strategies is required to control these conditions. Here, we review recent papers on the pathogenesis and treatment of neonatal...

Pathophysiology of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn
Yong Hoon Jun

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn(PPHN) is a disorder characterized by persistence of the pattern of fetal circulation after birth due to a sustained elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance. The two primary events in the pathophysiology of neonatal pulmonary hypertension are hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction(HPV) and hypoxic pulmonary vascular remodeling(HPR). Chronic hypoxemia may cause increased muscularity of the pulmonary arteries and...

Sung Oh Kim, Soo Yup Lee, Kyoo Hwan Lee, Soo Jee Moon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(1):128-133.   Published online January 31, 1988
Persistent pulmoanry hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a syndrome consisting of severe hypoxemia and pulmoanry hypertension that appears within hours of birth. The essential pathophysiologic features of this syndrome is pulmonary artery hypertension causing right-to-left shunt through the patent ductus arteriosus or foramen ovale or both and clinically manifested by central cyanosis and respiratory distress. We recently have experienced 20 hour old female and...
