Newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) present challenges for the neonatal intensive-care nurse. Although CDH has been a known condition for almost 200 years, the treatment strategy for newborns with CDH has changed during the past decade. Despite these improvements, the mortality rate for this condition remains high. An understanding of the anatomical basis and new treatment modalities for this condition will prepare nurses to care for these newborns.
