Introduction: 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.

Background: Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a life-threatening complication of advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Cervical ESCC is rare and frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage. Managing cervical esophageal cancer (CEC) is challenging, requiring intervention by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) and innovative surgical management.

Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) represents a pathological connection between the trachea and esophagus, classified into congenital and acquired categories. Congenital TEF arises from embryological malformations, often coexisting with esophageal atresia (EA), while acquired TEF primarily stems from malignancies, radiotherapy, or trauma. This condition disrupts normal anatomical functions, leading to significant clinical issues, such as aspiration, respiratory infections, and malnutrition.
