Prenatal history was unremarkable. At 2 hours of age the baby was transferred to neonatal intensive care unit due to progressive respiratory distress and received poractant alfa as intubation-surfactant-extubation therapy after which FiO2 requirement decreased from 0.50 to 0.25. At 34 hours of age, while she was still on nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), she had sudden deterioration with retractions, desaturation and bradycardia. The infant was immediately intubated and put on high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) after which her oxygen saturations and heart rate stabilized.MedicineGeneralInternalA late preterm infant with progressive respiratory distressOther4300701000123493
