Transcript of neonatal billious vomiting
BILIOUS VOMITING IN THE NEWBORNSHayssam Rashwan pediatric surgery dep.
Bilious vomiting in newborns is an
URGENT CONDITION thatrequires the immediate involvement of a team of pediatric surgeons and neonatologists for perioperative management
BILIOUS VOMITINGResuscitation* History, age of onset and associated symptoms
IMMEDIATELY after birth; abdominal distention, bilious vomiting
Few hours after birth; bilious vomiting, no distention
Within 24 hours of birth; vomiting, abdominal distention
At 3 to 7 days; bilious vomiting, rapid deterioration with volvulus
10 to 12 days after birth; distention, vomiting, bloody stools
Abdominal film;Distention Air-fluid levels Sweat test Groundglass sign
Abdominal film,doublebubble sign
Abdominal film:air fluid level
Ultrasound; Upper GI spiral sign - Abnormal location of the superior mesenteric vessels
Abdominal film;Distention Pneumatosis Air in the aortal vein
Meconium Ileus
Duodenal Atresia
Jejunoileal atresia
Malrotation with volvulus
Necrotizin g Ileus
Meconium Ileus
Duodenal Atresia
Jejunoileal atresia
Malrotation with volvulus
Necrotizin g Ileus
Gastrografin enema plus IV fluids, Enterostomy if complicated
Resection(s) and anastomosis
Resection of necrotic bowel and enterostomy
Diamond-shaped duodenoduodenostomy
Ladd's procedure
I. Preoperative Management:Place infant in an incubator for close observation and temperature control
Place nil by mouth Nasogastric or orogastric catheter should be placed for gastric decompression to prevent further vomiting and aspirationEstablishment of an intravenous line should follow for administration of fluid, electrolytes and nutrition
Protein (plasma) correct sepsis if present
II. Postoperative:Same as preoperative plus nasogastrotube is inserted until passing of the stool or present of intestinal sound and then start oral feeding
Malrotation & Volvulus
Malrotation
Early volvulus
Late volvulus
Clinical Picture1. Bilious Vomiting2. Acute symptoms of: Intermittent abdominal pain Diarrhoea Constipation Haematochezia
3. Symptoms of bowel ischemia: Peritonitis Abdominal distention Bloody stools Haemodynamic instability Intermittent pain Intermittent vomiting Malabsorption Failure to thrive
4. Chronic symptoms of:
Investigations1. Plain x-ray abdomen Double bubble sign
2. Ultrasound 3. Contrast study
Plain x-ray
Ultrasound
Reversal of the normal superior mesenteric artery (SMA)/superior mesenteric vein (SMV) relationship
Whirlpool sign of malrotation shows whirling bowel and associated mesenteric vasculature
Contrast Study
A paucity of small-bowel gas
Malrotation with midgut volvulus and duodenal obstruction. The position of the duodenojejunal junction is abnormal.
Typical radiographic findings of malrotation.
Corkscrew appearance
Ladds Procedure
A. B. the
The abdomen is opened The small intestines are seen first and appear to hide colon. The entire intestinal mass is delivered out of the abdomen
C. D.
The intestinal mass is rotated to reduce the volvulus The intestines are re-positioned in the abdomen
E. It shows the appearance of the intestines at the end of surgery
Duodenal Atresia
COMPLAINT
Greenish persistant/ intermittent vomiting few hours after birth
Resuscitate untill hemodynamically stable RESUSCITATION early (few hours after birth) bilious vomiting No abdominal distension (may have but uncommon) No passage of meconium (may have in incomplete type) Associated symptom : Down syndrome in 1/3 of patient 20% have congenital heart VACTERL
EXAMINATION
INVESTIGATION
Plain X-ray -double bubble sign -absent of gases
Contrast study: - Gastrographin meal (diagnose the incomple type) Bypass surgery: -duodenodeuodenostomy -duodenojejunostomy
TREATMENT
Preoperative measure
Jejunoileal Atresia
Types
CLINICAL PICTUREBilious vomiting Absent bowel sounds No meconium Abdominal distention
INVESTIGATIO NS1. Plain x-ray Thumb-sized loops of bowel with air-fluid levels 2. Barium enema Define microcolon
TREATMEN TPreoperative Operative: 1. Resection and primary anastomosis of atretic segments 2. Tapering enteroplasty (limited bowel length)
Meconium Ileus
After birth, infants fail to pass meconium in the first 12 to 24 hours
SIGNS OF INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTI ON Bilious emesis Abdominal distention Palpable loops of small intestine
INVESTIGATION S 1. Plain x-ray distended intestine, absence of airfluid levels, "soap bubble" appearance 2. Contrast enema 3. Investigations of cystic fibrosis
A. Illustration of intestine blocked by meconium. B. Abdominal x-ray of a newborn infant with meconium ileus showing dilated loops of bowel.
TREATMENTNONOPERATIVE[Evacuation of meconium] 1. Multiple enemas 2. Dilute Gastrograffin with N-acetylcysteine
OPERATIVE
3. Hyperosmolar solutions(1% acylcysteine)
Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Clinical PictureGastrointestinal
Systemic
Feeding intolerance Abdominal distention Abdominal erythema & tenderness Emesis Occult/gross blood in stool Abdominal mass
Lethargy Apnea/respiratory distress
Temperature instabilityHypotension Acidosis Glucose instability DIC Positive blood cultures
Investigations Plain x-ray abdomen1. Pneumatosis intestinalis
(pathognomic) Linear streaking pattern
Bubbly pattern
2. Portal venous gas
3. Pneumoperitoneum
Pneumatosis IntestinalisNote the air visible in the bowel wall. The air dissects the bowel wall giving it a double lined appearance (railroad tracks without the ties)
Portal Venous Gas
Pneumoperitoneum
Treatment1. Preoperative preparations 2. Operative: Resection of necrotic bowel andenterostomy
Indications: Absolute indication: pneumoperitoneum Clinical deterioration despite medical management Positive paracentesis Fixed intestinal loop on serial x-rays Erythema of abdominal wall
