ECMO is considered a standard therapy for the treatment of respiratory failure in neonatal patients (Anderson and Bartlett, 2000). In adult and pediatric patients, it is a treatment of last resort for individuals who would otherwise die despite maximal therapy (Anderson and Bartlett, 2000 Bartlett et al., 2000). Even in neonatal cases, ECMO is a therapy reserved for those patients with severe respiratory compromise and a high risk of death who are failing traditional ventilator-based interventions. Common causes of respiratory failure in the neonatal population that are treatable with ECMO support include pneumonia or sepsis, meconium aspiration syndrome, respiratory distress syndrome, persistent fetal circulation, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (Anderson and Bartlett, 2000). Contraindications to ECMO support include root causes that are unresolvable, such as a major birth defect or genetic abnormality, and comorbid conditions such as intracranial hemorrhage or fetal underdevelopment that suggest a poor outcome (Anderson and Bartlett, 2000). Indications for ECMO use in the pediatric and adult populations are not dissimilar from those of the neonate, but... 

In the early 1960s, the American literature contained relatively few papers on hiatus hernia in children and in both the first edition (1962) and the second edition (1969) of Pediatric Surgery, the chapter on hiatus hernia was written by an Englishman, David Waterston. In contrast, the European pediatric literature commented in detail on what was considered to be a well-recognized disorder of children. Nevertheless, most North American pediatricians and surgeons claimed the condition to be rare and a European phenomenon. They opined that few such children were seen in America, stating, we never see such cases in America, probably because we feed our infants differently and allow them to lay on their bellies/ ...
