Reduction of the Silverman-Score [ Time Frame: 0-72 h or up to end of CPAP after start of the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

The primary endpoint of the study is the reduction of the Silverman score as an indicator of respiratory distress of the infant.

Silverman Score is the standard score to describe the degree of respiratory distress of neonate.

Trial on Treatment With Inhaled Furosemide of Preterm and Term Neonates With Transient Tachypnoea
Trial on Treatment With Inhaled Furosemide of Preterm and Term Neonates With Transient Tachypnoea

In this study we will prospectively analyze the benefit of inhaled furosemide for preterm and term neonates with Transient Tachypnoea.

In this study we will prospectively analyze the benefit of inhaled furosemide for preterm and term neonates with transient Tachypnoea. Patients received nebulised Furosemide iv solution 1 mg/kg or nebulised 0,9% saline (4x/d) under blind conditions in random order so long as need a CPAP-treatment but max. 3 days. 20 Patient will be treating.

The benefit will be measured as reduction of dyspnea, respiratory rate, oxygen demand and time on CPAP.
