    The Apgar score is 3 or less ...

    Explanation:

    The present symptoms of Sam show that he is in Respiratory Distress (It happens in some neonates or newborns because of the less lipo-protien surfactant concentrations in their lungs). Patients like Sam require immediate attention upon birth. Otherwise, their bodies can become severely hypoxic.
