Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: What We Know, How We Currently Manage, and Thoughts for the Future

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is one of the most challenging diagnoses in the NICU, demanding rapid decision-making, coordinated teamwork, and a deep understanding of physiology. In this episode of NANNcast, Jill is joined by Dr. Jamie Gilley to unpack the full clinical journey of CDH - from prenatal markers and imaging, to delivery room stabilization, ventilation strategies, pulmonary hypertension and sedation management, surgical repair, and long-term follow-up. Dr. Gilley shares practical bedside tips, current research, and insights that every neonatal nurse and APRN can apply to improve care and outcomes in this critically ill population.
