ABSTRACT
Introduction: esophageal atresia occurs in one out of 3 000 to 4 500 newborns. The early diagnosis and the effective aspiration of the blind esophageal pouch has virtually eliminated aspirative pneumonia as a risk factor; however in the last few years, a new concept has been introduced about the risks of preoperative ventilator dependence for the prognosis of these children.Objective: to determine the effect of the preoperative mechanical ventilation on the esophageal atresia mortality.
Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study of all the cases diagnosed with esophageal atresia, with or without the tracheoesophageal fistula, in the period of January 2000 through December 2013 at "Jose Luis Miranda" provincial teaching pediatric hospital in Santa Clara, Cuba.
Results: the main criterion for use of ventilation was a respiratory rate over 60 breaths per minute. In the group, 35.2 % of the patients required preoperative mechanical ventilation and 76.9 % of them died. It was evident that there was significant association between the requirement of mechanical ventilation by these children and mortality. The risk of dying is 2.5 times higher when preoperative mechanical ventilation is needed.
Conclusions: the use of preoperative mechanical ventilation increases the risk of death in patients with esophageal atresia, so physicians should not resort to it as a routine method.
