Intestinal ischemia secondary to volvulus of gastroschisis within a silo: detection, confirmation and reversal of near infra-red spectroscopy detected O2 saturation

A neonate with gastroschisis had silo placement and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring of intestinal haemoglobin oxygen saturation (RSO 2 ). An ischemic loop of bowel demonstrated decreased RSO 2 , with reversal of clinical ischemia and RSO 2 postoperatively. This demonstrates possible adv...
