Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: Exclusion criteria for repair or ECMO?

Abstract

Mortality in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) approximates 30 %. Both severe lung hypoplasia and other anomalies contribute to demise regardless of repair and/or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We report clinical and physiological parameters for CDH infants not offered repair or ECMO (NoR/ECMO).
