Tachypnea
An abnormally rapid rate of breathing defined by more than 20 breaths per minute. Tachypnea is sometimes seen in patients who have a high fever. Tachypnea is also known as polypnea.
Transient tachypnea , also known as transient rapid breathing and neonatal wet lung syndrome , is a temporary condition due to a slower than normal re-absorption of the fluid present in the newborn infant's lungs.
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a term for a mild respiratory problem of babies that begins after birth and lasts about three days. Other terms for TTN are "wet lungs" or type II respiratory distress syndrome.
Transient tachypnea is a respiratory disorder usually seen shortly after delivery in full- or near-term babies.

Tachypnea
Telemetry unit
A small transmitter with wires that attach ECG patches to the chest that is used to send information about the heart via radio transmission to healthcare professionals for evaluation.
Tachypnea-Rapid breathing.
Recovery following pneumonia with Mycoplasma pneumoniae is nearly 100 percent. However, in the very young or very old or immunodeficient, Staphylococcus aureus has a death rate of 30 to 40 percent.
Tachypnea; Breathing - rapid and shallow; Fast shallow breathing; Respiratory rate - rapid and shallow
Home Care
Rapid, shallow breathing should not be treated at home and is generally considered a medical emergency.

Sweating during episodes
Unlike nightmares, most children do not recall a dream after a night terror episode, and they usually do not remember the episode the next morning.

thoracotomy - an incision made on the right or left side of the chest between the ribs, in order to access the heart or lungs during surgery.
thrombolytic drugs - medication used to dissolve blood clots.
tachypnea - rapid breathing.
tamponade - an emergency situation that occurs when blood or fluid fills the pericardial sac surrounding the heart, preventing the heart from beating effectively.
Transient tachypnea is a respiratory problem that occurs in 1% to 2% of newborns. It occurs when fluid does not leave the lungs as quickly as it should after birth. Babies born with this condition usually recover within three days of birth.

Objective signs such as tachypnea or the use of accessory breathing muscles frequently do not match a patient's perception of dyspnea and the degree of functional impairment it causes.
Presenting symptoms from published studies are (in order of decreasing frequency) dyspnea or tachypnea, polydipsia and polyuria, bone pain, lymphadenopathy, weight loss, fever, gingival hypertrophy, ataxia, and memory problems.
Hypoxemia at this stage is rarely of sufficient magnitude to stimulate tachypnea.
Major symptoms may include breathing difficulties (dyspnea), rapid breathing (tachypnea), excessively deep and rapid breathing (hyperventilation) and insufficient levels of oxygen in the circulating blood (hypoxemia).
The infant's breathing rate may increase (tachypnea), and the infant may become irritable or anxious-looking. If the disease is severe enough, the infant may turn bluish (cyanotic), which is an emergency.
Vital signs may disclose low-grade fever, tachypnea, tachycardia, and hypotension. Inspect the skin for jaundice. Assess the abdomen for distention, tenderness, discoloration, and diminished bowel sounds.

This makes the lungs stiff (less compliant), thus increasing the breathing effort required to ventilate the lungs. Tachypnea (increased breathing rate) is usually also present due to stimulation of pulmonary stretch receptors.
