‘Impact of a Regional Damage Control Surgery Pathway on Time to Surgery for Neonates with Severe Necrotising Enterocolitis. A prospective cohort study.’

Abstract

In the UK, published time from diagnosis of perforation to surgery for babies with Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) was 23·5 hours. We aimed to determine if a standardised regional referral pathway, combined with a damage control surgical approach (DCS) could reduce timings associated with referral to first surgical intervention.
