A 2300 g female baby was born at 36+4 gestational age via
caesarean section. 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.
