  1. Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Grand Rounds 5/20/11 Christopher Broussard, MD

  2. Lecture Outline • Case Report • Pathophysiology • Management • Perioperative Planning • Board Review

  3. Example Case • Should we fix it immediately? • Not so fast

  4. Case Presentation • Pt born via C/S at 39 3/7 weeks • Apgars 5&7 • Pregnancy complicated by placenta previa • Third trimester ultrasound demonstrated polyhydramnios - not CDH • Pt born in outlying community hospital, stabilized and transferred to Tulane. • Large diaphragmatic hernia with R Lung collapse on CXR.

  5. Case Presentation • DOL #1 • PSV • ABG 7.18/62/78.6/24/-6.5 on 90% O2 • A-a gradient 500mmHg • Echo: PDA with R L shunt, PFO, PASP 68mmHg (suprasystemic), enlarged RA and RV.

  6. Case Presentation • DOL # 2 • ECMO started in the NICU • Treatment with NO • Pulmonary vasodilators • Sildenafil • Bosentan • Dobutamine

  7. Overview of CDH • Incidence - 1/2500 – 1/5000 • Male/Female ratio – 2:1 • Left/Right – 5:1 • Types • Posterolateral (Bochdalek): 80% • Anterior (Morgagni): 2% • Paraesophageal: 15-20%

  8. Embryologic Development • Diaphragm, lungs and GI tract begin development at 4 weeks. • Pleuroperitonealcanal separate by 9th week • Rotation and settling of midgut before fusion of diaphragm • Limited thoracic space for lung growth • Genetic vs. environmental

  9. Review of Fetal Circulation • High resistance pulmonary circuit • Low resistance systemic circuit • R > L shunt via foramen ovale and ductusarteriosus

  10. Pathophysiology

  11. Pathophysiology • Pulmonary Hypertension • Pulmonary hypoplasia • Thickened tunica media and adventita • Hypoxemia, hypercarbia and acidosis • Inflammatory mediators (TxA2, LT C4 & D4) • Suprasystemic pulmonary pressures R to L shunt via PDA and PFO • Poor cardiac output due to small LV

  12. CHD SIDS

  13. Diagnosis • Typically prenatal (40%-60% by Ultrasound) • Classic Triad – cyanosis, dyspnea, apparent dextrocardia. • Scaphoid abdomen • Bulging chest • Variable Presentation

  14. Immediate Management • Determine adequacy of ventilation • Gastric decompression • Limit mask ventilation • Intubation • Gentle ventilation

  15. Associated Abnormalities • 10-40% overall, often coexist • Cardiovascular 13-23% • CNS 28% • GI 20% • GU 15%

  16. Migliazza L, et al. J Pediatr Surg 2007

  17. Prognosis • Mortality 20-60% • Stege G, et al. Pediatrics 2003 • Case selection bias • Additional defects – 79% v 30% • Prenatal findings • LHR, PA diameter, thoracic liver

  18. Timing of Surgery • Why would repair worsen pulmonary compliance? • Increased intra abdominal pressure • Decreased chest wall compliance

  19. Timing of Surgery • Historical Management • Hyperventilate with 100% O2 • Immediate surgical repair • Use of ECMO post operatively

  20. Timing of Surgery • Nakayama DK, et al. J Pediatr1991 • Medical stabilization (2-11 days) vs. emergency surgery • Decreased mortality • Improvement noted in pulmonary mechanics

  21. Protective Ventilation • Wung JT, et al. J Pediatr Surg 1995 • Spontaneous, pressure support ventilation • Permissive Hypercapnia • Preductal saturation >90% • Improved survival and decreased need for ECMO with delayed surgery

  22. HFOV • Typically used as rescue therapy in CDH • 3.5-15Hz

  23. HFOV • No prospective trials of HFOV vs. traditional ventilation in CDH • Migliazza L, et al. J Pediatr Surg 2007 • Retrospective review of 111 cases intended to look at prognostic factors. • HFOV used as primary mode of ventilation • Bhuta T, et al. Cochrane Database SystRev2001 • Infants with respiratory failure, all types • No survival improvement

  24. Nitric Oxide • Crosses cell membrane, increases cGMP concentration • Selective pulmonary vasodilator • Free radical with short half life • Potential for methemoglobinemia and accumulation of NO2 with prolonged use.

  25. Nitric Oxide • Controversial in CDH • Finer NN, Barrington KJ. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2006 • Supports use of Nitric Oxide in PPH hypoxic respiratory failure • NINOS. Pediatrics 1997 • No improvement in mortality • Increased risk of ECMO

  26. ECMO • Historically central in treatment of CDH • Utilization has fallen in current practice • Is ECMO a good idea for this patient?

  27. ECMO • CDH Study Group. J Pediatr Surg 1999 • mortality data for ECMO vs. no ECMO based upon predicted mortality. • Birth weight and Apgar score • ECMO improved survival in infants with >80% predicted mortality only. • Worse mortality in the remainder of the patients.

  28. ECMO • Wilson JM, et al. J Pediatr Surg 1997 • Retrospective review of cases at two tertiary centers. • Toronto – HFOV as rescue • Boston – ECMO as rescue • Similar mortality data between the two centers.

  29. ECMO • A-a gradient 600mgHg • PIP > 25cmH2O • Oxygenation Index • MAP×FiO2/PaO2 • >40

  30. Case Presentation • Serial echocardiograms decreased PAP, reversal of PFO and PAD shunts L R • ECMO weaned on DOL#12 • Sepsis/DIC – delay • Closure on DOL#16

  31. Preoperative Evaluation • 4kg • NO(40ppm), Sildenafil, Bosentan • Dopamine 12 mcg/Kg/min • Fentanyl/versed • TPN • IJ central line, UAC • PRVC RR 40, PEEP 5, TV 17

  32. Preoperative Preparation • Warm room, warm fluids • CVP, Art line • Maintain ventilator settings/NO • Paralysis • Maintain ICU drips (including TPN) • Adequate volume access • Two pulse oximeters

  33. Operative Details • Subcostal incision • Hepatic Pulmonary fusion • Thoracotomy • Liver resection • Gore-Tex patch • 80% defect in R diaphragm

  34. Anesthetic Management • EBL 400 mL • PRBC 200 mL • FFP 160 mL • Plts 40 mL • UOP 20 mL

  35. Postoperative Course • Pneumothorax • BPD • Tracheostomy • Ventilator dependence • NissenFundoplication • G-Tube • Discharged at 3 months

  36. Hepatic Pulmonary Fusion • SchmuelK, et al. J Pediatr Surg 1998 • Jeffrey W, et al. J Pediatr Surg 2010 • Case presentation plus literature review • Majority of cases identified intraoperatively • 50% success rate in separation • MRI identified as modality most likely to

  37. Complications in CDH survivors • Respiratory – obstructive disease, poor exercise tolerance • GI – oral aversion, GERD, failure to thrive • Neuro – developmental delay, sensorineural hearing loss • Musculoskeletal – pectusexcavatum, scoliosis • Reherniation (10%)

  38. Review • US is only 50% sensitive for prenatal Diagnosis • Early recognition and prompt treatment is essential • The use of lung protective ventilation is the most effective therapy.

  39. Appropriate management of a neonate born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) should include  A.   Ventilation of the lungs with a bag and mask to keep saturation greater than 95% B.   Insertion of an orogastrictube C.   Expansion of the hypoplastic lung with positive-pressure ventilation D.   Hyperventilation to keep the PaCO2 below 40 and pH greater than 7.40 E.   Rapid transport to the operating room for surgical correction

  40. Appropriate management of a neonate born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) should include  B.   Insertion of an orogastrictube
