Delivery room management in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension and injury to hypoplastic lungs in CDH. Delayed cord clamping, limiting barotrauma (with low ventilator pressures), and restricting FiO2 to target preductal SpO2 in the mid-80 s to low 90 s are important strategies to limit oxidative stress in CDH.

DCC, delayed cord clamping; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure.
