[edit] This page needs some work...

I intend to update this page over the coming weeks. This includes consolidating the page with existing information for the entry diaphragmatic hernia and the stubs on Bochdalek and Morgagni defects, etc

[edit] ECMO?

Can someone that has good sources for this help to add to this article how ECMO is used in some cases for patients with this condition? I know it's used because a friend's newborn is presently on an ECMO machine after being born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (whichever type affects the liver and lungs most notably). Also, I don't know how they stand up as solid sources, but here are some links I found while researching the condition recently, in case they benefit future editors' work on this article. Nothing special about them, just some of the Google hits for "diaphragmatic hernia":
