ABSTRACT
Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a defect of the formation and the closure of the diaphragm, which allows abdominal organs to move into the chest cavity. This causes lung hypoplasia and the development of pulmonary hypertension.Objective: To evaluate some prognostic factors associated to the mortality in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
Method: A retrospective study was carried out at the Eastern Regional Neonatal Surgery Center, from January 2000 to December 2018. The universe was constituted by 35 patients, who were studied according to clinical and paraclinical variables.
Results: Prenatal diagnosis was carried out in 22.8% of the patients. In 65.7% of them, Apgar at one minute was poor and it didn't improve notably within five minutes in 25.7%. Immediate intubation was done in 22.8% of the neonates and transfer was assessed as faulty in 25.7%. 48.6% of the patients was intervened in the first 24 hours. Mortality was 34.3%, related to oxygenation index (OI), which was higher than 40 in 34.2%, and ventilation index (VI) that was higher than 1.000 in 31.4% of patients.
Conclusions: Survival was good. Even with conventional measures of ventilatory and pharmacological supports, severe pulmonary hypertension is the main cause of death. Transfer conditions to the regional center are still inadequate, therefore, the proper functioning of the integral protocol for perinatal care will allow an improvement of these results.
