Abstract
Implications:
We describe an original ventilation method designed to optimize lung recruitment and gas exchanges during surgery in a newborn with congenital esophageal atresia and ectopic esophageal implantation of the left mainstem bronchus. This strategy ensured constant adaptation of the mechanical ventilatory regimen to the surgical procedure-linked constraints.
