Pyloric stenosis--a timed perspective
E. S. Golladay, J. R. Broadwater and D. L. Mollitt
In a review of 90 infants with pyloric stenosis who underwent
pyloromyotomy, preoperative nasogastric drainage for more than six hours
during the period of fluid resuscitation accompanied by a period of
postoperative drainage for more than 12 hours resulted in better acceptance
of a graduated feeding protocol with fewer emesis, earlier completion of
full feeding, and shortened hospital stay.
