Hemodynamic management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia: the role of targeted neonatal echocardiography

Aimann Surak, Linda Mahgoub, Joseph Y. TingUniversity of Alberta.Canada World Journal of Pediatric SurgeryWorld J Pediatr Surg 2024; 7: DOI: 10.1136/wjps-2024-000790 AbstractCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a major congenital anomaly, resulting from the herniation of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity, thereby impeding the proper development of the lungs and pulmonary vasculature. CDH severity correlates with […]
