Abstrakt:	Key Clinical Message: Ectopia cordis is a rare condition with expected low survival rate based on past studies. We encountered a case of a preterm and low birth weight infant with ectopia cordis. When the infant cried, the prolapse of the heart, liver, and intestinal tract worsened. A pressure‐applying protector was used to protect the organs and reduce the prolapse. Upon application, the infant's tachypnea and desaturation worsened. Fluoroscopic examination suggested that the pressure from the prolapsed regions was impeding pulmonary expansion and negatively affecting circulation. It is essential to carefully design a protector that accommodates the infant's growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
