The troubles are transient, may be severe and include hypoxemia, hypotension and bradycardia. All children having such trouble always fully recovered without any sequelae or prolonged length of stay. The investigators suspect that these phenomenons are caused by transient pulmonary hypertension.The objective is to see whether transient pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure is present during theses phenomenon by trans-thoracic echocardiography.
