Crying after birth can lead to a temporary increase in intra-thoracic pressure due to the forceful contraction of respiratory muscles and closure of the glottis during the act of crying. This can create a momentary negative pressure in the thoracic cavity as the infant inhales deeply. However, the overall impact of crying on intra-thoracic pressure is complex and varies with the infant's respiratory patterns. Generally, while crying may influence pressure dynamics, it is not the primary focus of concern in newborns immediately after birth.
