ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Wide practice variation exists in the management of gastroschisis. Routine endotracheal intubation for bedside closure may lead to longer duration of mechanical ventilation.METHODS:
The Canadian Association of Pediatric Surgery Network gastroschisis dataset was queried for all patients undergoing attempted bedside reduction and closure. Patients with evidence of intestinal necrosis or perforation were excluded. A propensity score analysis was used to compare the rate of successful primary repair and post-operative outcomes between intubated and non-intubated patients.RESULTS:
In propensity score matched analysis, the successful primary repair rate did not reach statistical significance between patients who were intubated for attempted bedside closure and those who were not intubated (Odds Ratio 2.18, 95% Confidence Interval 0.79, 6.03). Intubated patients experienced 3.02 more ventilator days than patients who were not intubated at the time of initial attempted closure. Other post-operative parameters were similar between both groups.CONCLUSIONS:
It is reasonable to attempt primary bedside gastroschisis closure without intubation in otherwise healthy infants.Palavras-chave
