Conclusion
Using this FE-NIV-SPI approach for preoperative assessment and NTFG tube placement can safely delineate aeroesophageal malformations and effectively stabilize through gastric feeding and ETT intubation to improve ventilation in neonates with EA/TEF and moderate respiratory distress. This approach may also improve diagnostic accuracy of FE and allows for simultaneous surgical correction of EA/TEF and associated anomalies.
