ANESTHESIA FOR RADICAL SURGERY OF NEONATAL CONGENITAL DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA USING CONTINUOUS ADMINISTRATION OF FENTANYL AND HIGH-FREQUENCY OSCILLATORY VENTILATION
Patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia were managed using continu-
ous administration of fentanyl and high-frequency oscillation during the perioperative
period. Fentanyl was continuously administered at 0.076 μg/kg/min and initial settings for
high-frequency oscillation were : fraction of inspired oxygen=0.75, frequency=15 Hz,
stroke volume=6.7 ml/kg, mean airway pressure=19 cmH₂O. All the patients were
administered dopamine and dobutamine for hemodynamic stability. Their operations were
completed with no problem
