THE CASE

Credit: Author supplied

After an otherwise normal pregnancy, a male infant was born at 37 weeks gestational age via emergency cesarean delivery for decreased or absent fetal movement with multiple late and variable heart rate decelerations. Rupture of membranes occurred at delivery with copious thick meconium. The baby was limp and apneic, requiring intubation and tracheal suctioning for meconium aspiration and respiratory support immediately after birth.
