Background:
Infants with single ventricle (SV) physiology are at high risk for interstage complications, including necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The underlying pathophysiology and age at presentation differs from NEC literature described in premature infants, making NEC in SV patients challenging to diagnose and treat. We perceive significant variability in the approach to possible NEC in SV patients at our institution.
Aims:
To identify variability & standardize the approach to management of NEC
To create a management algorithm for diagnosing and treating NEC
Methods:
After review of current practice and review of medical literature, an algorithm to guide medical decision making specific …
