30
Q

TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Pre-operative
A
  • Minimize Complications
  • Antibiotics
  • No Oral Feeding
  • Baby Stabilization
31
Q

Pre-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Minimize Complications
A

Minimize complications from aspiration by

  • Continuous suction of the blind pouch with Replogle tube.
  • Maintain the child in upright or prone position.
32
Q

Pre-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Antibiotics
A

in case of aspiration pneumonia

33
Q

Pre-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Feeding?
A
  • No oral feeding
  • start IV fluids or total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
34
Q

Pre-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Baby Stabilization
A

The baby should be stabilized, the diagnosis should be confirmed, and full assessment for associated anomalies should be performed before surgical intervention.

35
Q

Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

A
  • Short Gap Atresia (Type C)
  • Long GAp Atresia (Type A)
36
Q

A
37
Q

Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Long Gap Atresia (Type A)
A
38
Q

Post-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

A
  • Fluids
  • Antibiotics
  • Mechanical Ventilation
  • NGT & Feeding
  • Chest Tube
  • GERD TTT
39
Q

Post-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Fluids
A

Adequate fluid resuscitation

40
Q

Post-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Antibiotics
A

Continue broad-spectrum antibiotics

41
Q

Post-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Mechanical Ventilation
A
  • The patient is usually maintained on mechanical ventilation for a variable period postoperatively
  • Maintain intubation until the risk of extubation failure is low given the fisk of reintubation of a freshly postoperative trachea.
  • Postoperative Muscle paralysis is sometimes indicated upon surgical team recommendations when esophageal anastomosis is performed under significant tension.
  • Deep tracheal suctioning is avoided except if lifesaving.
  • If endotracheal tube has to be changed, AVOID neck extension
  • Avoid bag/mask ventilation
42
Q

Post-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • NGT & Feeding?
A
  • Ryle tube remains in place for about 1 week and (Never reinsert it if slipped).
  • Minimize the volume of swallowed saliva by frequent oral suctioning, with care taken not to insert the suction catheter into the esophagus to the depth of the anastomotic site.
  • Feeding can begin through Ryle tube at the 5th day if no evidence of leak from anastomosis
  • Esophagram may be performed 1 week after the operation to confirm absence of anastomotic leak.
43
Q

Post-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • Chest Tube
A

To be removed after developing oral feeding without evidence of anastomotic leak (about 1 week).

44
Q

Post-Operative TTT of Esophageal Atresia

  • GERD
A
  • All babies after EA repair** should be treated with anti gastrosophageal reflux (GER) medications including acid blockade +/- a promotility agent.**
  • The EA repair itself increases the risk of GER because of tension on the lower esophagus.
  • Furthermore, acidic gastric contents will irritate the anastomotic site and increase the risk of stricture.
