Abstract:
We examined postnatal echocardiograms for 62 infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia born from 2014 through 2020. Left and right ventricular dysfunction on D0 were sensitive, whereas persistent dysfunction on D2 was specific for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation requirement. Biventricular dysfunction had the strongest association with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Serial echocardiography may inform prognosis in congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
