Summary
A congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare birth defect characterized by a diaphragmatic defect allowing herniation of abdominal contents into the chest, subsequently impeding normal lung development. This results in structural and functional changes to lung structure, pulmonary circulation, and the heart. The size of the defect can significantly affect the prognosis, as the severity of this condition is proportional to the severity of lung hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. Initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is considered a last resort, life-preserving option for neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia who have failed all other medical therapies. This chapter details the management of an infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, currently on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and requiring repair of his hernia.
