The infant is suffering from dehydration most probably from esophageal atresia (non-development of the distal side of the esophagus, forming a closed tube) or partial/complete gut obstruction. With a urine output of 250 mL constantly, the patient will be dehydrated. The infant is diagnosed with failure to thrive and is most probably malnourished (most common cause of failure to thrive in infants is preterm birth). In the presence of esophageal atresia, along with retained feedings, the patient will also present with vomiting. In the presence of partial/complete gut obstruction, the patient will also present with distension of the abdomen.

Which chamber receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary circuit?
FromTheMoon [43]
The chamber is the left atrium.

The lungs help exchange the deoxygenated blood which are full of wast materials into oxygenated and blood full of nutrients. These oxygenated blood are then transported through the pulmonary vein, the only vein in the body which transports oxygenated blood. These blood are then transported back into the heart, which is the left atrium specifically.

Those blood is then pushed down to the left ventricle, and then pumped to the whole body (except lungs), in order to keep the body functioning by providing oxygen and nutrients for cellular respiration.

Meanwhile, the deoxygenated blood are received by the right atrium, and is then transported back to the lungs for exchange again, through the right ventricle and pulmonary artery.
