    A diaphragmatic hernia occurs when abdominal organs push up into the chest cavity through an opening or weakness in the diaphragm. Symptoms include rapid breathing and difficulty feeding in infants. The treatment is surgery to repair the opening in the diaphragm, and bag-mask ventilation should be avoided in neonates with a diaphragmatic hernia and respiratory distress as it can worsen the condition by further inflating organs in the chest cavity.
