What the experts said
Van Haal et al. conducted a retrospective cohort study in the Netherlands that included 79 patients who had rigid tracheobronchoscopy done before and after esophageal atresia surgery.
Preoperative tracheobronchoscopy for the presence of post-operative tracheomalacia had a sensitivity of 50% and a specificity of 67%.
Preoperative tracheobronchoscopy, though routine, has limited predictive value for post-operative tracheomalacia in esophageal atresia patients.
Mina et al. performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent conservative management of modified Bell stage 2A or greater necrotizing enterocolitis at a single institution from 2011 to 2022.
126 patients underwent conservative management of necrotizing enterocolitis, and 24 of those patients eventually underwent surgery for a post-NEC stricture.
Primary resection and anastomosis was performed in all cases of post-NEC stricture requiring surgery.
Post-NEC strictures are a common occurrence after conservative management of necrotizing enterocolitis.
Huncheid et al. conducted a multi-center non-inferiority trial that compared preterm infants treated with expectant management versus early ibuprofen for patent ductus arteriosus.
The trial included 273 infants: 136 treated with expectant management and 137 with early ibuprofen.
In the expectant management group for PDA, there was 17.6% necrotizing enterocolitis, 33% bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and 14% death rates.
In the ibuprofen group for PDA, there was 15.4% necrotizing enterocolitis, 50% bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and 80% death rates.
Expectant management is not inferior to early ibuprofen in preterm patients with patent ductus arteriosus.
