Tracheoesophageal Fistula With Esophageal Atresia: A Case Series
We present a case series of two neonates diagnosed with EA/TEF, type "C" and type "E," born at low-acuity centers, who required transport to a tertiary center for surgical support. The pathophysiology as well as types of TEFs, symptomology, stabilization goals, corrective treatment, and long-term implications will be examined. Finally, the educational needs of parents and caregivers will be discussed.PMID:38599775 | DOI:10.1891/NN-2023-0051 (Source: Neonatal Network)

Repair of Tracheoesophageal Fistula via Median Sternotomy Approach
We present a neonatal patient diagnosed with EA/TEF in conjunction with pulmonary agenesis requiring definitive repair via median sternotomy. The child was born at 33 weeks gestational age with post-delivery respiratory distress necessitating intubation. A nasogastric tube was unable to be passed. After subsequent imaging, TEF and pulmonary agenesis were diagnosed. During planned staged repair with ligation of TEF via standard right thoracotomy approach, significant ventilatory compromise was encountered. Due to concern for ventilatory compromise and anatomical variance limiting visualization, a median sternotomy approach ...

Colorimetric CO2 Detector to Improve Effective Mask Ventilations in Very Preterm Infants: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Study
CONCLUSION: This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of a trial to evaluate colorimetric ETCO2 detectors during mask ventilation of very preterm infants to reduce bradycardia and low SpO2. Further assessment with a larger population will be required to determine if ETCO2 detector usage at resuscitation reduces risk of adverse outcomes, including death and disability, in very preterm infants.PMID:38537615 | DOI:10.1159/000538083 (Source: Neonatology)
