Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), often occurring with esophageal atresia (EA), presents significant respiratory challenges in neonates. Neither the effect of EA/TEF, nor the effect of post-surgical complications such as tracheomalacia, on respiratory effort has been previously quantified. This study calculates the tracheal resistive component of work of breathing (TR-WOB) to quantify breathing effort pre- and post-surgical repair of EA/TEF. The primary objective of this study was to calculate the TR-WOB before and after surgical repair and compare it to normal values.
