Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) management in the delivery room includes expecting respiratory distress due to the herniation of abdominal organs into the chest, avoiding mask ventilation to prevent bowel distension and worsening of the lung compression, and placing a nasogastric tube to decompress the stomach and intestines. High concentrations of oxygen (FiO2) and early CPAP are not initial management steps due to the risk of worsening the condition or causing damage.
