A 3-day-old boy is brought in by his parents with increased work of breathing, increased lethargy and a blue tinge around his lips after short feeds. He was born at 39 weeks by planned c-section, to a well mother and had been well the previous day.
On examination the neonate appears ill, is generally mottled but not cyanotic, has very faint femoral pulses, bibasal crepitations, and a systolic murmur.
