Abstract
In the complex arena of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) management, Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) provides a strategic window for stabilization and surgical correction, during which time marginal gains in patient stability can tip the scales towards survival. In modern neonatal ECLS, the focus is increasingly on minimizing survivor morbidity, which calls for considerable multidisciplinary expertise to enhance patient outcomes. This review will delve into the most up-to-date literature on the management of CDH in the context of ECLS, providing a comprehensive synthesis of current insights.
