Improving the neonatal transition in infants with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia

先天性横隔疝是一种常见的先天性畸形，当横隔膜在出生前未能将腹室和胸室分开时就会发生。这阻碍了肺的正常生长，因此在出生时，肺在没有相当大的帮助的情况下无法承担气体交换的角色。因此，这些婴儿死亡或严重残疾的风险很高，这项应用的重点是改善护理和减少这些婴儿的发病率。

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a common congenital abnormality and occurs when the diaphragm fails to separate the abdominal and thoracic compartments before birth. This prevents the lung from growing properly and so at birth, the lung is unable to take over the role of gas exchange without considerable assistance. As a result, these infants are at high risk of death or significant disability and this application is focused on improving care and reducing morbidity in these infants.
