Conditions

Transient Tachypnea of Newborn(TTN)

Interventions

Control group (non-TTN full-term infants):Supine/prone/kangaroo hold (30-degree prone position with medical staff without skin-to-skin contact) three position interventions
The intervention was performed within 6 hours of birth when the child was clinically stable, and the EIT chest strap was attached to the child's chest for image acquisition
Study Group (TTN Group):Supine/prone/kangaroo hold (30-degree prone position with medical staff without skin-to-skin contact) three position interventions

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Full-term infants admitted to the neonatal ward within 6 hours after birth 2. Diagnosis of children with TTN with non-invasive respiratory support 3. Clinical steady state (defined as clinical steady state: fluctuation in heart rate at /-10 beats/min, respiratory rate fluctuation at /-5 beats/min, and oxygen saturation in the range of /-5%.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Children with TTN requiring endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation 2.
