Article Synopsis
- In cases of type C esophageal atresia, pinpointing the location of the tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is vital for managing the airway, though thin bronchoscopes aren't always available.
- A low-birth-weight neonate underwent immediate gastrostomy after birth, and in lieu of a bronchoscope, a novel method was used involving water immersion and positive pressure to identify the TEF.
- This approach successfully determined the TEF location without bronchoscopy, showcasing a practical solution for challenging medical situations in resource-scarce environments.
