1. A 12-hour-old late preterm newborn presented to the emergency room in respiratory distress following a home birth. 2. Initial assessment found the newborn had fast and shallow breathing, grunting, nasal flaring, chest retracting, gray skin color and a heart murmur, indicating respiratory distress. 3. Initial labs and diagnostics revealed findings consistent with respiratory distress syndrome, including hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and a chest x-ray showing hypoaeration and a ground glass pattern.
