  • necrotizing enterocolitis in newborns pathogenesis prevention and management
    Drugs, 2008
    Co-Authors: Alecia Thompson, Matthew J Bizzarro
    Abstract:

    Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is primarily a disease process of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of premature neonates that results in inflammation and bacterial invasion of the bowel wall. Despite advances in the care of premature infants, NEC remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in this population. It occurs in 1–5% of all neonatal intensive care admissions and 5–10% of all very low birthweight (<1500 g) infants. Although research has presented an interesting array of potential contributing factors, the precise aetiology of this multifactorial disease process remains elusive. Historically, it was believed that NEC arose predominantly from ischaemic injury to the immature GI tract, yet alternate plausible hypotheses indicate that many factors are likely to be involved. These may include issues related to the introduction and advancement of Enteric Feeding, alterations in the normal bacterial colonization of the GI tract, bacterial translocation and activation of the cytokine cascade, decreased epidermal growth factor, increased platelet activating factor, and mucosal damage from free radical production.

  • Enteric Feeding with gastric decompression management with separate gastric accesses
    American Journal of Roentgenology, 2004
    Co-Authors: Brian C Lucey, Debra A Gervais, Ross L Titton, Fiona Ohare, Peter F Hahn, Michael M Maher, Peter R Mueller
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE. Our purpose is to describe our experience with combined enteral Feeding and gastric decompression or drainage in debilitated patients with persistent gastroesophageal reflux using two separate catheters.CONCLUSION. The placement of two percutaneous catheters through separate skin sites is a feasible and successful approach to providing enteral Feeding and gastric decompression or drainage in debilitated patients with persistent gastroesophageal reflux and aspiration pneumonia.

  • pleuropulmonary complications of fine bore naso Enteric Feeding tubes
    Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1991
    Co-Authors: Peter Katelaris
    Abstract:

    Fine bore naso-Enteric Feeding tubes are commonly used for entet al alimentation. Although regarded as generally safe, complications associated with their use occur. Case reports presented here highlight the potential hazards of these tubes. Pleuropulmonary complications are reviewed and guidelines suggested for the safe insertion of such tubes.
