Q

Why does Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia occur in LT side?

Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • Symptoms
A
21
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • Scaphoid Abdomen
A

Because most of the abdominal viscera are at the chest

21
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • Physical Exam (Signs)
A
22
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • AP Diameter
A

Increased, Because it is distended by the abdominal viscera

23
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • Medistinal Shift
A

Signs of mediastinal shift to the opposite side (shifting of heart sounds).

24
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • Bowel Sounds
A

Audible bowel sounds within the chest

25
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • Breath Sounds
A

Absent breath sounds on the affected side.

26
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • Most Emportant INVx
A

ECHOOOOOO

27
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • ECHO

  • Rad
A
29
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • Plain X-Ray
A
30
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • Contrast
A

Confirm the presence of bowel inside the chest.

31
Q

Postnatal Dx of CDH

  • CT
A

Confirm diagnosis in doubtful cases.

32
Q

TTT of CDH

A
  • Pre-operative
  • Operative
  • Post-operative
33
Q

TTT of CDH

  • Preoperative
A
  • cardiopulmonary system stabilizization
  • Gastric Tube
  • Ventilation
  • Vascular Access
34
Q

Preoperative TTT of CDH

  • Cardiopulmonary System Stabilization
A
  • cardiopulmonary system is stabilized and pulmonary hypertension should be controlled by medical treatment.
35
Q

Preoperative TTT of CDH

  • Gastric Tube
A

Gastric tube is inserted to decompress the stomach.

36
Q

Preoperative TTT of CDH

  • Ventilation
A
  • Ventilation by mask or Ambu bag is contraindicated
  • Mechanical ventilation techniques which avoid barotrauma to the hypoplastic lung.
  • Insert endotracheal tube if respiratory support is needed.
37
Q

Preoperative TTT of CDH

  • Vascular Access
A

Secure

38
Q

Operative TTT of CDH

A
39
Q

Post-operative TTT of CDH

A
  • controlled ventilation
  • Pneumothorax
  • Chylothorax
  • Enteral feeding
40
Q

Post-operative TTT of CDH

  • Ventilation
A
  • The newborn will require controlled ventilation while still under the effects of anaesthesia and neuromuscular blockade.

Note: If a chest tube has been placed at the time of surgery, it is placed to water seal or to a very low level of suction to drain air or fluid under pressure.

41
Q

Post-operative TTT of CDH

  • Pneumothorax
A
42
Q

Post-operative TTT of CDH

  • Chylothorax
A
  • Chylothorax occurs in up to 20% of newborns following repair of a diaphragmatic hernia and may be an indication for chest tube if one was not placed intraoperatively.
43
Q

Post-operative TTT of CDH

  • Enteral Feeding
A
  • Enteral feedings are delayed until bowel function has clearly been established, as evidenced by minimal nasogastric drainage, presence of bowel sounds, and passage of stool.
