Early postnatal respiratory dynamics in term and late preterm infants with respiratory distress.

Key Points

• To examine respiratory parameters in term and late preterm infants to identify early predictors of respiratory failure.
• Measured Ti/Te ratio, SpO2, and HR in infants with respiratory distress.
• Evaluated the effect of CPAP on EELI.
• Increased Ti/Te ratio correlated with more severe respiratory distress.
• SpO2 and HR levels were lower in infants experiencing significant respiratory issues.
• CPAP application led to an immediate increase in EELI.
