The interventions known as ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) are specialized procedures conducted in rare and high-risk cases where securing the fetal airway in utero becomes imperative before delivery. Typically, these procedures are undertaken in fetuses with congenital airway obstructions or cardiopulmonary anomalies that would otherwise lead to fatal outcomes. EXIT encompasses techniques such as establishing an airway, connecting to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), removing masses, or separating conjoined twins while the fetus remains supported by placental circulation. Given the complexity and rarity of these procedures, there are no established guidelines by medical societies emphasizing the need for specialized teams in tertiary care centers. Despite the potential risks involved for both the fetus and the mother, including failure to establish the airway or maternal hemorrhage, the collaborative efforts of interprofessional teams play a crucial role in mitigating these risks and ensuring successful outcomes.Participating in this continuing education activity provides learners with comprehensive insights into the intricacies of EXIT procedures, including their indications, preparatory measures, and the technical skills required for execution. Moreover, it emphasizes the significance of interprofessional collaboration in optimizing patient outcomes. Through this course, participants gain a deeper understanding of the coordinated efforts needed among obstetricians, neonatologists, anesthesiologists, and other specialists involved in the EXIT process. By effectively communicating and working together within a multidisciplinary team, healthcare professionals can enhance their ability to anticipate and address potential complications during EXIT procedures.
