| Abstract | ||||
| The storey begins with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), or an abnormal connection between the trachea and the oesophagus. This research was conducted to learn about the outcomes of treating TEF (EOS) in newborns and to see whether various neonatal demographic and clinical data correlate. Methods: A total of 10 neonates identified with TEF utilising chest X-ray obtained after the gastrographin had been poured via the implanted Ryle's tube was included in the research. The researchers studied 16 male newborns and 14 female newborns. To calculate the results, it was determined that the gender ratio among survivors was greater and the birth weight was higher in survivors than non-survivors. GA was somewhat longer in survivors. Compared to survivors, non-survivors were much more likely to have linked congenital abnormalities. However, although the incidence of related congenital cardiac anomalies and pneumonia was non-significantly greater among non-survivors, it was substantially higher among survivors. Therefore, the diagnosis of oesophageal atresia is most frequently made within the first 24 hours of birth, although it may also be diagnosed during pregnancy, and delayed diagnosis until the newborn begins to feed and develop aspiration pneumonitis does not exist today. Early postoperative problems include anastomotic leakage or stricture occur in around 56.7% of patients. Consequences of pre-exciting other congenital abnormalities or development of chest infection or recurrent pneumonia cause most of the deaths. | ||||
