Extract

It is well known that signs of respiratory distress or disease (RD), such as high breathing frequency, chest wall retractions, grunting, and cyanosis, are common in newborn infants. The signs may be very transient or develop into a potentially life-threatening condition. When they are first observed, they often have a very ambiguous prognostic significance.
