O Is a sheet of
internal skeletal
muscle that extends
across the bottom
of the rib cage. The
diaphragm
separates the
thoracic cavity, from
the abdominal
cavity
MedicalO Hiatal hernia is the most
common pathology of the
diaphragm, with an
incidence is approximately
1 per 2400 live births, with
a high mortality rate
ranging from 80% to
40%, depending on
whether cases are studied
from the prenatal period
or postnatal.
O Is performed fetoscopy, intrauterine operations. Which achieves to improve their chances of survival. Anyway, the smaller will be born with a hernia, but this is again operate about three days after his arrival in the world.
Advantage
O The diaphragm
functions in
breathing. During
inhalation, the
diaphragm
contracts, thus
enlarging the
volume of the
thoracic cavity.
O This reduces
intrathoracic
pressure: In other
words, enlarging
the cavity creates
suction that draws
air into the lungs.
O The diaphragm is also involved in non-respiratory functions, helping to expel vomit, feces, and urine from the body by increasing intra-abdominal pressure, and preventing acid reflux
Disadvantages
O A hiatal hernia, in
which the
abdominal
esophagus or even
the fundus of the
stomach rises up
through the
esophageal hiatus
into the thoracic
cavity
O This condition is
present in 1 out of
2,000 births. A large
herniation has a
mortality rate of 3/4
and requires
immediate surgical
repair
O If the diaphragm is
struck, or otherwise
spasms, breathing
will become difficult.
This is called,
having the wind
knocked out of you.
O Hiccoughs are
involuntary
intermittent sudden
contractions of the
diaphragm
Issue in Ecuador
O In Ecuador
diaphragmatic
hernias are rare. In
2010 only found
about 11 cases in
the Carlos Andrade
Marín hospital.
