What is Oesophageal Atresia and Fistula Overview about?
Mrs W has delivered a baby boy who appears to be excessively drooling and mucousy. This is likely due to oesophageal atresia with a distal tracheo-esophageal fistula. A catheter must be passed through the mouth to establish if it becomes arrested, indicating the diagnosis. The baby will require transfer to a pediatric surgical institution with nothing given by mouth, and an NG tube and IV fluids started. A. R.
