Unsuccessful Intubation and Stabilization by Laryngeal Mask Airway in the Delivery Room: A Case of Tracheal Atresia.
TL;DR: In this article, a term male newborn infant was apneic at birth, and endotracheal intubation was unsuccessful, and he was stabilized for transport with a laryngeal mask airway.

Abstract: A term male newborn infant was apneic at birth, and endotracheal intubation was unsuccessful. He was stabilized for transport with a laryngeal mask airway. Laryngoscopy revealed tracheal atresia with intrathoracic distal tracheoesophageal fistula. A laryngeal mask airway may provide ventilation in tracheal atresia patients with a fistula.

A Unique Case with Tracheal Atresia Among Published Literature on TACRD and VACTERL Associations
TL;DR: A unique case of tracheal atresia with TACRD and VACTERL associations is reported, featuring a rare combination of congenital anomalies, including tracheo-esophageal fistula, persistent vena cava, and vertebral defects, with successful esophageal band ligation and gastrostomy.

Accuracy of ultrasonography at 11-14 weeks of gestation for detection of fetal structural anomalies: a systematic review.
TL;DR: A number of fetal malformations remain undetected by early ultrasonography because of the natural history of fetal defects and the late development of some organ systems.

Congenital absence of the trachea
TL;DR: Research into tissue-engineering might lead to possibilities for definitive surgical repair of tracheal agenesis or atresia, however, until curative repair becomes possible, prolonged ventilation via the oesophageal tube does not seem to be worthwhile.

TL;DR: Two unusual abnormalities of the respiratory system which indicated that the inflow and outflow of amniotic fluid in the foetal respiratory tract is not essential for normal alveolar development are reported.

The accuracy of prenatal ultrasonography in detecting congenital anomalies
TL;DR: Ulasonography proved to be highly sensitive for prevalent lethal malformations, however, serious cardiac defects, microcephalus, and many musculoskeletal deformities were missed by ultrasonography.
