Abstract
Scenario: A full-term male newborn is noted to have respiratory distress at two hours after birth. On examination, oxygen (O2) saturation records 75% (oximeter probe on left thumb). The newborn infant has decreased air entry on auscultation of the left chest. Breath sounds are reduced with muffled gurgles. Heart sounds are noted to be more prominent on the right side of the thorax. The abdomen appears scaphoid on closer inspection (see figure above).
