Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia have pulmonary hypoplasia resulting in persistent pulmonary hypertension of neonates (PPHN), which is the main contributor to both high mortality and morbidity. The pulmonary artery bed in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is underdeveloped and is very sensitive to slight stimuli. It is, therefore, vital to avoid any factors that might increase pulmonary vascular resistance during the perinatal treatment of these patients. Recently, fetal anesthesia for perinatal stabilization in patients with CDH has been reported. However, the efficacy of this method remains controversial. The aim of this study is to analyze the benefits of fetal stabilization using fetal anesthesia in patients with CDH.
