The neonate is born via cesarean delivery for nonreassuring fetal well-being with Apgar scores of 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. In the delivery room, the infant develops some respiratory distress, and with the prenatal history concern for multiple congenital anomalies, he is transferred to the level 3 neonatal intensive care unit for further care.
