Neonatal care has improved greatly in recent years. As an unintended consequence of these advances, more babies born with malformations such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survive and with more severe malformations than in the past.Dr. Pramod Puligandla discusses a new clinical practice guideline on diagnosis and management of CDH. Dr. Puligandla is a Professor of Paediatric Surgery, Paediatrics and Surgery at McGill University, Faculty of Medicine in Montreal, Quebec. He was also the project lead for the guideline working group. The guideline was developed by the Canadian Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Collaborative.Full guideline article: www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.170206Podcast transcript: https://www.cmaj.ca/transcript-170206-----------------------------------Subscribe to CMAJ Podcasts on Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast app. You can also follow us directly on our SoundCloud page or you can visit www.cmaj.ca/page/multimedia/podcasts.
