Intractable respiratory failure in a term newborn

Lisa Allred et al. Am J Perinatol. 2008 Feb.

Abstract

Birth depression unresponsive to conventional resuscitative measures merits careful consideration. The case of a term infant with primary respiratory failure at birth despite extensive intervention is presented. Postmortem examination revealed bilateral pulmonary artery thrombi, which underscores the importance of careful exploration of possible pathogenetic mechanisms.
