Abstract:
Airway problems in foetus that may cause airway obstruction can be safely managed by using an ex utero intrapartum technique(EXIT).The EXIT procedure maintains a period of uteroplacental circulation for fetal oxygenation during delivery to provide time to explore and secure the airway of the fetus or to perform fetal operations before the umbilical cord is clamped.The common indication for the EXIT procedure is the presence of foetal airway obstruction,which is usually caused by neck mass,congenital diaphragmatic hernia,congenital high way obstruction syndrome,thoracic abnormality,congenital heart and lung dysfunction,conjoined twins,and so on.It avoids the acute airway obstruction in a neonate that has disastrous consequences.
