EXIT Procedure: Technique and Indications with Prenatal Imaging Parameters for Assessment of Airway Patency

Abstract: Successful management of fetal conditions in which airway obstruction is anticipated is now possible because of advances in prenatal imaging and the development of innovative techniques to secure the fetal airway before complete separation of the fetus from the maternal circulation. Fetal ultrasonography and fetal magnetic resonance imaging are complementary imaging modalities in the assessment of fetuses with potential airway obstruction. The ex utero intrapartum therapy (EXIT) procedure is used to secure the… Show more

“…As in this case, a fetal MRI may serve as an adjunct to ultrasound to better characterize soft tissue masses, the impact of masses on the trachea, and the cartilaginous structures of the upper airway. 15 Furthermore, a multidisciplinary team, including pediatric anesthesiologist, pediatric otolaryngologist, and neonatologist, should be involved in delivery planning. An EXIT procedure is used to secure the neonatal airway while fetal-placental circulation is preserved in cases of airway obstructions (eg, congenital airway obstructions, laryngeal atresia, micrognathia, fetal neck masses, and intrathoracic masses).…”

“…An EXIT procedure is used to secure the neonatal airway while fetal-placental circulation is preserved in cases of airway obstructions (eg, congenital airway obstructions, laryngeal atresia, micrognathia, fetal neck masses, and intrathoracic masses). 15 An EXIT procedure is associated with increased maternal hemorrhagic morbidity and risk of cesarean hysterectomy. 15 However, it should be considered and can decrease the mortality of neonates when airway compromise is possible.…”
