  • Snapshot
    • A neonatal boy is born without any complications to a 23-year-old mother who did not receive consistent prenatal care. The boy did very well in the first few hours of life, earning APGAR scores of 8 and 9. After 6 hours, however, he began having trouble feeding. He was tachypneic especially when feeding or when crying. His mom noticed that his lower extremities also appeared bluer than his upper extremities. An echocardiogram is scheduled immediately.
