Hi,
I was just wondering if those of you in bigger units have seen this condition before? we are due to be admitting a baby this week with suspected gastroschisis or omphalocele, it will be the first time we will be having a child with either of these conditions, in fact its a first for the Paediatrician as well, we are a very small unit only 6 beds
Basically I would just like to know in general the length of stay we can expect, how long typically do they wait before the first surgery and are they intubated and ventilated straight away at birth or is a wait and see situation?
thanks
