#1. A newborn infant is delivered by cesarean section at Hospital A. The infant is transferred to the neonatology unit of Hospital B with transient tachypnea, bradycardia and jaundice. The infant is premature at 36 weeks with a birth weight of 1650 grams. The infant was put on oxygen and EKG heart monitor. Incidentally, it was discovered that the infant has Tetralogy of Fallot, which will be followed up after discharge by a cardiologist. Slight head molding was found which resolved on its own by discharge. What is the principal diagnosis for the record at Hospital B?

770.8 Transient Tachypnea of Newborn is correct
