Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine if de-implementation of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in the post-natal resuscitation/stabilization phase affects the composite outcome of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) use and/or mortality, as well as ECLS use, mortality, and/or oxygenation in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) newborns and to establish the cost-effectiveness of de-implementing iNO as a therapy in the postnatal resuscitation/stabilization phase of CDH management, which will be assessed as the incremental health system costs (savings) per prevented ECLS use and/or death.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Postnatal, live born neonates with CDH a. Presence of associated or additional anomalies is acceptable for inclusion - Bochdalek hernia location (right or left) - Diagnosed prior to 1 month of life - Born within or transferred to (within 1 week of life) a CDHSG member center participating in the trial

Intervention Model
Crossover Assignment
Intervention Model Description
In this multi-center study, centers will use iNO per their usual protocol, and centers will then crossover to iNO de-implementation (that is, at the time of crossover, centers will stop using iNO in the initial resuscitation period). A stepped-wedge crossover study design will be used, and the timing of crossover will be cluster randomized at the level of the center.

Active Comparator
Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) use
The center will use iNO per their usual protocol in the initial resuscitation period (defined as birth through stabilization and CDH repair). No center will alter any component of their standard clinical practice guideline or protocol governing CDH care.
