Diaphragm eventration is a condition characterized by the abnormal elevation of the diaphragm due to weakness or paralysis of the muscle that can lead to respiratory distress and compromised lung function. This condition may be congenital or acquired and is often identified through imaging studies such as x-rays or computed tomography scans. Symptoms can range from asymptomatic to severe respiratory difficulties, and treatment options vary from conservative management to surgical intervention, such as diaphragm plication, to restore normal respiratory mechanics.Clinicians participating in this course gain a comprehensive understanding of diaphragm eventration, including its etiology, diagnosis, and treatment options. The course covers advanced diagnostic techniques, surgical procedures, and postoperative care strategies. Additionally, participants learn about the importance of interprofessional communication and coordination to enhance patient-centered care, improve outcomes, ensure patient safety, and optimize team performance when managing this condition.
