Respiratory compromise. A large multi-site retrospective
study based on electronic records of newborns admitted
to the NICU with respiratory compromise between
2002-2008 found 36.5% of the late-preterm infants were
admitted to the NICU for evaluation of respiratory symptoms,
compared to 7.2% of the term infants (Consortium
on Safe Labor et al., 2010). Multiple studies have found that
late-preterm infants are at increased risk for respiratory distress
syndrome (RDS), transient tachypnea of the newborn
(TTN), pneumonia, and air leaks (pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum)
requiring respiratory support with the
rate of respiratory complications steadily decreasing with
each increasing week in gestational age (Consortium on
Safe Labor et al., 2010; Kamath, Marcotte, & DeFranco,
2011; Vachharajani & Dawson, 2009; Wang et al., 2004).
