Indications, Resource Allocation, and Outcomes Associated with Ex-Utero Intrapartum Treatment Procedures: A North American Fetal Therapy Network Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Neonates with cardiorespiratory compromise at delivery are at substantial risk of hypoxic neurologic injury and death. Though mitigation strategies such as ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) exist, the competing interests of neonatal beneficence, maternal non-maleficence, and just distribution of resources require consideration. Due to the rarity of these entities, there are few systematic data to guide evidence-based standards. This multi-institutional, interdisciplinary approach aims to elucidate the current scope of diagnoses that might be considered for such treatments and examine if treatment allocation and/or outcomes could be improved.

Methods

After IRB approval, a survey investigating diagnoses appropriate for EXIT consultation and procedure, variable
