Journal ArticleDOI

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and conventional medical therapy in neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn: a prospective randomized study.

TL;DR: Thirty-nine newborn infants with severe persistent pulmonary hypertension and respiratory failure who met criteria for 85% likelihood of dying were enrolled in a randomized trial in which extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy was compared with conventional medical therapy (CMT).

Teri A. Manolio, +43 more
TL;DR: Efforts to coalesce human-genomics groups around concrete but compelling signature projects should accelerate the responsible implementation of genomic medicine in efforts to improve clinical care worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fetal diaphragmatic hernia: Ultrasound diagnosis and clinical outcome in 38 cases

TL;DR: Improved postnatal therapy or surgical intervention before birth will be necessary to salvage the CDH fetus with an early gestational diagnosis or associated polyhydramnios.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delayed repair and preoperative ECMO does not improve survival in high-risk congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

TL;DR: Survivors in the delayed repair group were ventilated longer and on ECMO longer, but had fewer late deaths and fewer pulmonary sequelae (O2 dependency at discharge) than infants in the immediate repair group (P less than .05).
