Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow01:24

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

The Barium Swallow Study, or a Barium Esophagogram, is a diagnostic imaging method used to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. It employs barium sulfate, a radiopaque contrast material, to provide clear images of the upper digestive system, helping to identify abnormalities, diseases, or structural issues.
Purpose and Procedure
Patients undergoing this procedure ingest a liquid containing barium sulfate with a chalky...

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.
Nasointestinal Feeding
Nasointestinal feeding involves placing a tube through...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Exomphalos major (EM) can be successfully managed non-operatively, enabling early feeding and discharge. This approach allows granulation before ventral hernia repair, with a 46% mortality rate in this study.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Care
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Exomphalos major (EM) presents significant challenges in abdominal wall defect closure.
  • Effective management strategies for EM are crucial for infant survival and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the single-center experience and outcomes of treating exomphalos major.
  • To assess the efficacy of non-operative management for EM.

Main Methods:

  • A 15-year retrospective review of case notes for infants with exomphalos major.
  • Data analysis focusing on treatment approaches, complications, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Fourteen infants with EM were identified; 46% mortality rate among live births.
  • Severe pulmonary hypoplasia occurred in 54% of infants.
  • Non-operative management was primary, with silver sulphadiazine application and early enteral feeding.

Conclusions:

  • Non-operative management of exomphalos major is a viable approach, facilitating early enteral feeding and discharge.
  • This strategy allows for granulation and subsequent ventral hernia repair.
  • High rates of mortality and pulmonary hypoplasia underscore the severity of EM.
