7. With the most common type of esophageal atresia and
tracheoesophageal fistula, the upper segment of the
esophagus ends in a blind pouch and a fistula connects the
lower segment to the trachea. Preoperatively, there is a risk of
aspiration of gastric secretions from the stomach into the
trachea because of the fistula that connects the lower segment
of the esophagus to the trachea. Pain is not usually
experienced preoperatively with this condition. The infant is
always kept NPO (nothing by mouth) preoperatively, so
ineffective feeding pattern would not apply. Tissue perfusion is
not a problem with this condition.
