Gastroschisis Etiology:
• Herniation of intestinal loops Unknown:
through full-thickness defect in – Thrombosis of the right umbilical vein causes
anterior abdominal wall
necrosis
– Right omphalomesenteric artery prematurely
• Defect lateral to the
involutes
umbilicus (right>left), usually
less than 4cm in size Other theories:
– In-utero rupture of omphalocele
• No sac covers the extruded – Rupture of abdominal wall due to rapidly
viscera increasing volume
– Abnormal development of the ventral abdominal
wall-failure of midline fusion of the lateral folds.

• Gastric Decompression
• Naso or orogastric, use low continuous suction for dual-lumen Gastroschisis
tubes
• Infection Control
• Administer antibiotics as ordered
• Sterile gloves and barriers
• Thorough Examination of Infant
• Exclude co-existing congenital anomalies
• Very careful examination of intestine looking for intestinal
atresia, necrosis or perforation
• Pain Management
• Assess using neonatal pain scale
• Assess physical responses to care, procedures
• If giving benzodiazepines or narcotics careful monitoring for
apnea

Nursing Care
Nursing Care
– Skin Care
– Infection Prevention • Monitor pulses, temperature, color of extremities
• Sterile technique during dressing changes
• Consider positioning, especially if using silo
• Antibiotics as ordered
• Consider gestational age
• Dressing around silo per your institutions routine- betadine soaked
gauze, changed bid • Report drainage or dehiscence
• Monitor for separation, redness or drainage at base of silo or suture line – Discharge Planning
post closure
• CVC care per policy
• Teaching regarding feeding method (PO, NG, GT, TPN if
necessary) HHC arrangements
• Temperature, vital signs, labs
• Teach CPR prior to discharge, Car seat is appropriate
– Pain Management
• Alert family to call MD office/ED for s/s of bowel obstruction/
• Assess using neonatal pain scale hourly during initially post-op period
volvulus-(bilious emesis, abd distention, no stool output,
• Monitor physical parameters
diarrhea)
• Use behavioral interventions and medications as appropriate
• Assure follow-up is arranged

Post-op complications:
Gastroschisis
• Abdominal compartment syndrome – ischemic, infarcted • Prognosis is dependent mainly upon severity
bowel, renal failure of associated problems
• Infection – Prematurity
• Necrotizing enterocolitis – Intestinal atresia (10-15%)
• Short gut syndrome with TPN dependence – Short Gut-loss of bowel due to ischemia, infarction
– NEC (5-10%)
• Prolonged ileus/dysmotility
– Intestinal inflammatory dysfunction ? Dysmotility?-
• GERD affects almost all of these patients
• Inguinal hernias • Improved since the advancements in IV nutrition-
better overall at meeting nutritional needs, lipid
sparing protocols
