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.
