Bowel obstruction in neonates | Better Safer Care
Bowel obstruction is a common surgical emergency for newborns. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment usually results in positive outcomes. Delay in carrying out surgery may result in the loss of large amounts of bowel. Not all infants with bowel obstruction require transfer by PIPER neonatal. Infants diagnosed early and without fluid or electrolyte problems may be safely transferred with local ambulance services. However, it is advisable to discuss such infants with the receiving hospital or PIPER.
