suggest that early furosemide-induced diuresis, particularly in infants weighing 1,000 to 1,500 g at birth, promotes improvement in
With the development of neonatal medicine and intensive care, the concepts and methods of managing respiratory problems in neonates have been changing continuously
Diuretics are drugs that increase the production of urine by encouraging salt and water to be released from the kidneys

Introduction Neonatologists use furosemide off-label in infants to treat tachypnea and peripheral or pulmonary edema, improve respiratory status, prevent fluid
Respiratory distress in the neonate is diagnosed when one or more of the following is present; tachypnoea or respiratory rate of more than 60/minute, retractions
We included randomised and quasi‐randomised controlled trials that compared the effect of diuretics administration versus placebo or no treatment in infants
Furosemide stimulates the renal synthesis of prostaglandin E2, a potent dilator of the ductus arteriosus
In neonatology, diuretics are often used for management of chronic lung disease in
Diuretics are drugs that increase the production of urine by encouraging salt and water to be released from the kidneys
A working diagnosis should be made in the first few minutes of seeing the baby and immediate life-saving measures should be undertaken till further management plans are drawn up
INTRODUCTION
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to determine whether a single early dose of a diuretic in infants with moderate to severe bronchiolitis would improve respiratory distress
Diuretics are commonly used to treat infants with oxygen-dependent chronic lung disease
Standard treatments for respiratory distress include oxygen, albuterol nebulization (with or without ipratropium), nitroglycerin, Lasix, morphine and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or Newborn assessment usually occurs simultaneously with resuscitation in conditions such as meconium aspiration
Despite clinical advances, ARDS continues to be one of the most challenging disease processes that intensivists face in their clinical practice, causing high mortality and disabling consequences in survivors ()

There are several causes of newborn respiratory distress other than TTN that can present at Goo ED
The Silverman and Andersen index is used by nurses to determine the severity of respiratory distress
On a microscopic level, the disorder is associated with capillary endothelial injury and diffuse alveolar damage
It is often administered off-label in premature neonates, to treat respiratory conditions and at doses greater-than-recommended
Furosemide therapy was significantly associated with improved lung compliance and a decreased serum chloride concentration
