Failure to Normalize Biventricular Function is Associated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Use in Neonates with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Lisa S. Le, John P. Kinsella, Jason Gien, Benjamin FrankChildren’s Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado. United States Journal of PediatricsJ Pediatr 2023; DOI: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2023.113490 AbstractWe examined post-natal echocardiograms for 62 congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) infants born from 2014 through 2020. Left and right ventricular dysfunction on D0 were sensitive while persistent dysfunction on D2 was specific […]
