Overview

Secondary prevention occurs once the disease has developed and aims to prevent progression and development of further complications. CDH related complications include tracheobronchomalacia, pneumothorax, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary infections and respiratory failure. Early screening may assist in complication prevention. Genetic counselling should be offered to all affected families as well as the importance of regular follow up.[1]

Secondary Prevention

Secondary Prevention
Complication Preventative Methods
Pulmonary Hypertension,
Pneumothorax
  • All surgical procedures that can rupture pleura such as transbronchial and transthoracic interventions should be performed under ultrasound guidance
Respiratory failure/ Pulmonary infections[3]
Gastroesophageal reflux[4][5]
  • Frequent and small meals
  • Avoid laying down for 3 hours after a meal
  • Head end of the bed elevated
kidney stones[6][7]
  • Diet low in salt
