nice question we do practice rectal stimulation by feeding tube or sometimes glycerine suppositories or rectal wash out by NS

we are starting with 80 ml/kg/day with sodium monitoring we are not adding sodium in the first 24 hours their juxta glomerular apparatus is very sensetive they can not deal with sodium even some literatures is saying no need to add sodium in first few days

In our unit we are not cutting the tube but we did not do any study to check which is better to cut it or to leave it . Please respond to the poll and share your practise.

I can appreciate Dilated bowel loops no portal vein gas no pneumatosis any Gastric Residual, vomiting, bloody stools check for electrolytes esp Na Do CRP, blood Cs start antibiotics according to your antibiogram serial x ray follow up blood gas to check for metabolic acidosis CBC monitoring to check for further drop of platlets regarding pedia surgical consultation in NEC I & NEC II they have no rule but if you can involve them if you have suspecion NEC III THEY SHOULD INTERVENE EITHER PUTTING A DRAIN OR TAKE THE PATIENT TO OR Treat the patient as a whole and do not treat the x ray

Ventricular tachycardia with pulse unstable ( low BP , prolonged CRT ) so sybchronized cardioversion starting with 0.5 j/ kg Pulseless Ventricular tachycardia same as VF management is defebrillation start with 2 j/ kg
