Abnormalities of blood gas levels and/or sleep were found in 30 patients (67%), were responsible for cardiorespiratory arrest in 9 (20%), and required admission to the intensive care unit in 21 (47%). Results Two patients died (one patient of septicemia, the other of unknown causes). We reviewed the nature and the timing of therapeutic interventions performed on the airway. All the patients underwent endoscopic exploration on several occasions.

Patients and Methods Forty-five patients with CHARGE association having at least 3 cardinal malformations (growth retardation excluded) and review of the malformations and respiratory manifestations encountered. Setting Four academic tertiary care centers. Objectives To evaluate the need for a tracheotomy and its timing during the evolution of an association of malformations, including coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, developmental and growth retardation, genitourinary malformation, and ear anomalies (CHARGE association).ĭesign Retrospective study from January 1988 through December 1997.
