Ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedures.
Seminars in Pediatric Surgery 2019 August
Ex Utero Intrapartum Treatment (EXIT) is a technique developed to safely and efficiently establish cardiopulmonary support at delivery while maintaining placental bypass. Indications for the EXIT approach are expanding and currently include EXIT-to-airway, EXIT-to-resection, EXIT-to-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and EXIT-to-separation of conjoined twins. The EXIT technique involves planned partial delivery of the fetus via hysterotomy while maintaining uterine relaxation and placental support, allowing for the establishment of neonatal cardiopulmonary stability in a controlled manner. Fetal interventions performed during EXIT can include endotracheal intubation, tracheostomy, mass excision, removal of a temporary tracheal occlusive device, ECMO cannulation, and others. The most important aspect of an EXIT procedure is the formation of a multi-disciplinary team with broad expertise in fetal intervention to collaborate throughout the pre, intra, and post-partum periods. This chapter reviews the prenatal workup, decision making, surgical indications, and operative considerations associated with EXIT procedures.
