Abstract Reigstad, I, Reigstad, H, Kiserud, T, Berstad, T. Gastroschisis in western Norway. Aims: To evaluate the effect of elective caesarean section before term and early enteral nutrition on length of parenteral nutrition and hospital stay in infants with gastroschisis Methods: Retrospective review of all infants with gastroschisis treated in a regional level III hospital from 1993 to 2008. During 1993-97 there was no established standard for management of pregnancy or delivery while a protocol on close foetal monitoring and early elective caesarean section was adhered to for 1998-2008. Introduction of human milk on the first day after complete closure of the abdominal wall and rapid increase was the policy during the whole period. Results: With early elective caesarean section no foetal deaths occurred after 28 weeks' gestational age (GA). Ten infants were born during the first and 20 during the second period at a median GA (range) of 36.5 (34-40) and 35 (34-37) weeks (p=0.013). Seven and 20, respectively, were born by caesarean section. Median (range) days before full enteral feeds and hospital stay were 11.5 (7-39) and 13.0 (7-46) (p= 0.85), and 17.5 (12-36) and 22.5 (13-195) (p=0.67), respectively. One child died of volvolus after discharge. Conclusion: Close surveillance of pregnancy, elective preterm caeserean section, early surgery and active approach to primary closure and early enteral feeds appears to be a safe and effective line of management in gastroschisis. |
