A 10-day-old male infant weighing 950 g was scheduled for ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). He was born at 29 weeks gestation and was intubated immediately after delivery because of respiratory distress. His condition improved over the following 4 days. However, on the fifth day of his life the respiratory distress worsened and a murmur was heard over his chest. Medical treatment for PDA was attempted unsuccessfully. His blood pressure was 60/40 mm Hg, heart rate 150 beats/minute. The laboratory data were as follows: white blood cells (WBCs), 17,000/?L; hemoglobin, 11 g/dL; hematocrit, 34%; urine specific gravity, 1.005; protein 1+; sugar 1+; serum calcium 6.0 mg/dL; blood glucose, 60 mg/dL; and arterial blood gases: pH, 7.30; PaCO2, 45 mm Hg, PaO2, 60 mm Hg on FIO2 50%; inspiratory pressure, 30/4 cm H2O; and ventilation rate, 25 breaths/minute.
