Neonatal ICU working diagnosis of Neonatal Necrotising Enterocolitis: The Paediatric Surgical perspective
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
A neonate with features of intestinal obstruction continue to baffle experienced neonatologists and even paediatric surgeons. Hence, when a neonate with such features is admitted to an NICU, it has been observed that the resident physician makes a working diagnosis of NNEC in many cases. We observed that the prelimniary diagnosis may bias subsequent judgement and management in few cases where the diagnosis is unwarranted and actual pathology are different.
