Improving the neonatal transition in infants with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia

先天性膈疝是一种常见的先天性异常，发生于出生前膈肌未能将腹膜和胸膜分开。这阻碍了肺的正常生长，所以在出生时，如果没有相当的帮助，肺无法接管气体交换的作用。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这些婴儿的护理和降低发病率。

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.
