NCT ID: NCT03205553

Last Updated: 2021-12-20

Results Overview

To demonstrate that subjects treated with DPR will have a more benign hospital course as measured by time to full enteral feeds. The primary outcome measure will be time to full feeds of 100 kcal/kg/day. This is assessed once daily on morning rounds by the neonatology team.

Standard of Care (SoC) Treatment Group
The SoC group will be placed in silo shortly after birth within 2 hours of admission to the NICU per standard practice and subsequently serially reduced in silo (staged silo reduction) until the bowel contents are at the level of fascia and deemed suitable for closure. These subjects will have no change in current clinical management by the neonatologists or pediatric surgeons. SoC Staged Silo Closure: Serial reductions will be performed with silastic silo placement for staged reduction using umbilical tape ties. The silo is assessed daily on morning rounds by the surgical team. Once the abdominal contents are at the level of the fascia, the abdomen is closed in the operating room. The average day to closure historically from CHND data is 5 days.
Direct Peritoneal Resuscitation (DPR) Treatment Group
The DPR group were placed in silo within 2 hours of admission to the NICU. At the time of silo placement for staged procedure, the JP drain will be sterilely placed intra-abdominally through the top of the silo. Subjects were treated with adjuvant direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) and subsequently serially reduced in silo until the abdomen is closed (during the entirety of silo placement). SoC Staged Silo Closure: Serial reductions were performed with silastic silo placement for staged reduction using umbilical tape ties. Peritoneal Dialysis Solution/Dextrose 1.5%: Serial reductions were performed with silastic silo placement for staged reduction with adjuvant direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR). A JP drain was securely placed through the top of the silo beneath the fascia at the base of the small bowel mesentery for instillation of dialysate fluid and aspiration of peritoneal fluid. The sterile syringe was connected to the JP drain. The dialysate fluid administered via JP drain as a bolus infusion every 6 hours until the abdominal wall is closed for a maximum of 7 days. Fluid was warmed at bedside using dry heat not to exceed 37°C/98°F. The initial bolus infusion was 10 mL/kg of dialysate. If tolerated, each subsequent infusion was increased by 10 mL/kg up to a goal infusion of 40 mL/kg (to a maximum volume of 100 mL) as tolerated. Dialysate dwelled for 1 hour after instillation of fluid. Any excess fluid was then removed via JP drain.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Until Day of Discharge, an average of 29 days

Enteral feeding is begun after orogastric (OG) tube output has stopped and a bowel movement has occurred. OG tube output is checked at least every 4 hours (± 30 minutes) and/or before each feeding per NICU standard practice. Initiation of feeds is a clinical decision based on decreased gastric tube output, abdominal x-rays, and passing of stool. The initiation of enteral feeds is assessed daily on morning rounds by the neonatology team. Feedings start at an average of 7 days following abdominal wall closure. The advancement of enteral feeds will be based on standard practice at ACH. Most feedings are started every six hours and advanced to every three hours as tolerated.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 weeks post-closure

Motility was quantified as the total number of distinct peristaltic movements visualized in each abdominal quadrant over 30 seconds. A global descriptive score of bowel activity was assigned with the following categories: no, low, normal, or hyperactive peristalsis. The present results are representative of the number of days to return to normal bowel activity.
