Common Congenital Anomalies in Newborns

• Signs of respiratory distress and cyanosis immediately after birth, especially in cases of bilateral choanal atresia. Cyanosis decreases when the newborn cries.
• Difficulty in passing a catheter from the nose to the pharynx.

Nursing Care:

• Insert an oral airway.
• Perform a thorough physical examination to rule out other visible congenital anomalies.
