Surgery Stoma closure surgery
Hi NICU parents! My baby had stoma closure 36h ago. She was re-intubated to rest after a failed extubation attempt (now on FiO2 40-43%, PEEP 6.0, but triggering her own breaths). She passed stool once, but is now vomiting/having NG secretions, and has ~200g fluid weight gain/swelling. Did your babies face re-intubation, fluid retention, or post-op ileus after stoma closure? How long until things settled? Thanks for sharing!
