Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: fluid restriction appears to be safe in late preterm and term neonates with uncomplicated transient tachypnea of the newborn. Fluid restriction may be of benefit in decreasing the duration of respiratory support and reducing hospitalization costs in the more severe cases.

Reviewers’ commentary: limitations in the existent evidence so far make them insufficient to recommend the restrictive use of liquids in the transient tachypnea of the newborn, necessitating further studies assessing this intervention.
