This week’s episode will be about button battery ingestions. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating and unpredictable inflammatory disease. Infants may present with early signs and symptoms and continue on to severe NEC. Other infants may present in severe NEC without any early warning signals. Because of its unpredictable nature the best defense against NEC is a strong offense. Early recognition of the signs, symptoms and risk history by caregivers can mitigate the course of the disease. Unfortunately, most of the early signs mimic other common challenges of the neonate like apnea and temperature instability. So it is the caregiver that must know their patient and subtle changes in the baby’s condition. This show will review some of the causative factors, treatments, complications, prevention, and transport considerations when transporting the NEC patient.
