Anesthesia in Morgagni hernia with high PIP: A case report

Morgagni hernia, a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, is usually asymptomatic. Surgery should be planned as soon as possible after diagnosis. The observation of variable degrees of pulmonary dysplasia and increased vascular resistance, and the presence of heart or other organ disorders make anesthesia management important. We describe the anesthetic management of a 2.5-month-old patient operated due to Morgagni hernia. Following intubation, peak inspiratory pressure was high, but rapidly returned to normal levels after the abdomen was opened. No complications were observed during this process in terms of anesthesia management.
