    (2010) Kattan, Javier; Godoy, Loreto; Zavala, Alejandro; Faunes, Miriam; Becker, Pedro; Estay, Alberto; Fabres, Jorge; Toso, Paulina; Urzua, Soledad; Becker, Jorge; Cerda, Jaime; Gonzalez, Alvaro
    Survival of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) depends both on non-modifiable congenital conditions and on modifiable pre and postnatal management. ECMO improves survival up to 80% in neonates with CDH in the best ECMO centers worldwide. The first Neonatal ECMO Program in Chile was started in our University in 2003. Our objective is to determine the impact of a Neonatal ECMO Program in a level III NICU on newborns with CDH.
