Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia - Presented By Burhan Mahmood, MD בקע סרעפתי מלידה ע"ש בוכדלק

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a condition in which a hole in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to move into the chest, often resulting in pulmonary hypoplasia. Surgery is the most accepted and proven method of treatment, while more severe cases may require ECMO support as a bridge to surgical correction.
Burhan Mahmood, MD, clinical director of the ECMO Program at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, provides a background to this challenging and difficult condition, the treatment process, and Children’s Hospital’s approach to management and care.
