IncidenceTheoverall incidence of pediatric intestinal obstruction is difficult to estimate because it
resultsfromsuchavarietyofembryonicanomaliesandfunctionalabnormalities.However,intestinalobstruction is themost commonsurgicalemergencyof thenewborn.The incidenceofneonatalintestinalobstruction isapproximately1caseperevery500-1000 livebirths.Approximately50%oftheseneonateshave intestinalatresiaorstenosis.Duodenalatresiaand jejunalatresiaoccur inapproximately equal numbers, although some authors report that jejunoileal atresia is themorecommon.
Clinical PresentationThemajorityofpediatricpatientswithintestinalobstructionpresentshortlyafterbirth,yet
prenatal diagnosis of obstructive gastrointestinal lesions is possible in selected patients. Proximalobstructing lesions can produce proximal bowel dilation with hyperperistalsis that is readilyidentifiablebyprenatalultrasonography.Theclassic“doublebubble”appearanceofduodenalatresiacanbeidentifiedinuterowithultrasonography.Distalintestinalobstructionsarelesslikelytocausepolyhydramnios,butonoccasiondilated loopsofbowelmaybe identifiedasanechoicmasses.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgey (ERAS) for Colorectal SurgeryHermogenesDJ.MonroyIII,MD
EnhancedRecoveryAfterSurgery (ERAS)has transformedperioperativecare inmodernsurgicalpracticebyemphasizingthepatients’optimalreturntonormalfunctionaftermajorsurgery.ThetermERASwascoined in2001byagroupofacademicclinicians toreplace the termsFastTrackSurgery/ClinicalorCriticalPathwaysforstandardizationandputmoreemphasisonthequalityofthepatients’recoveryratherthanthespeedofdischarge.Conventionalperioperativemetaboliccarehasacceptedthatastressresponsetomajorsurgery is inevitable.Thisconcepthasrecentlybeenchallengedwith theview that a substantial elementof the stress responsecanbeavoidedwiththeappropriateapplicationofmodernanesthetic,analgesicandmetabolicsupporttechniques.Conventionalpostoperativecarehasalsoemphasizedprolongedrestforboththepatientandtheirgastrointestinal tract. Similarly, this concept has recently been challenged. In the catabolic patient,medium-termfunctionaldeclinewillensueifactivestepsarenottakentoreturnthepatienttofullfunctionassoonaspossible.Againstthisbackground,Dr.HenrikKehletfromDenmarkstartedtoquestionwhypatientsundergoingelectiveabdominalsurgeryfailtogohomesooner.Hewentontodescribeaclinicalpathwaytoacceleraterecoveryaftercolonicresectionsbasedonamultimodalprogramwithoptimalpain relief, stress reductionwith regional anesthesia, earlyenteralnutritionandearlymobilization.With this, hewas able todemonstrate improvements inpatient’sphysicalperformance,pulmonary function,bodycompositionandamarkedreduction in lengthof stay.Asubsequentrandomizedtrialusingasimilarprotocoldemonstratedasignificantreductioninmedianlength of stay from 7 to 3 days.

Skin grafting is an essential procedure often chosen to close open wounds. Manual skin graft knivesandpowerdermatomesenable surgeons toharvestgraftsof varying thicknessdependingon the patient’s needs.There are 3 phases of skin graft“take”: plasmatic imbibition, inosculationandneovascularization.Basicrequirementsforskingraft“take”areagoodvascularbed,absenceofinfectionandadequateimmobilizationoftheskingraft.Corollarytothis,commoncausesofskingraftlossinclude:hematomaunderthegraft,infectionandfailuretoimmobilize.Donorsitecareshouldbe given importance to ensure adequate re-epithelialization andminimize scarring.

1. DiscusstheevolutionofSIRS. 2. Discussinterventionssoastoavoidcomplications&improveoutcome.
Dr.BenEisemanfirstusedthetermMultiorganFailureSyndromein1977.SurgeonsthoughtthatthecauseofthisMOFisintraabdominalinfection.However,patientswhohadcontrolledornointraabdominalinfectionstilldevelopedMOF. In the80’s, the conceptof shock causingbowel ischemia andbacterial translocationwasintroduced. Inthe90’s,BoneintroducedtheconceptofSIRS.Anyformofinsulttothebody(e.g.trauma,infection, stressetc.)would trigger a cascadeof inflammation in thebody.

Themainmodality indetecting recurrenceafterprimary treatment is still anappropriateanddetailedhistoryandphysicalexamination.Data fromvarious reports revealed that signsandsymptomsidentifiedtheonsetofrecurrenceinmostofthepatients.Signsandsymptomssuggestiveofrecurrencearedirectlyrelatedtotheorganinvolvedandmustbepickedupbytheexaminingsurgeon.Thesemayincludebonepains/tendernessforbonemetastasis,cough/dyspneaforlungorpleuralmetastasis,abdominalrightupperquadrantpain/jaundiceforlivermetastasis,andheadache/dizzinessforbrainmetastasis.Asymptomaticrecurrencesaredetectedthroughlaboratorytestsandimagingproceduresinonlysmallpercentageofpatients.Thesefindingstogetherwiththeassociatedhigh cost of surveillance testing bring out the question on whether postoperative follow up insearch for recurrence shouldbedone in a SYMPTOM-DIRECTEDAPPROACH, that is, ancillarymetastaticworkupsarerequestedasindicatedonlybysignsandsymptoms,orthroughaROUTINE/INTENSIVEAPPROACH,whichisdoneevenintheabsenceofsymptoms.Equallyrelevantquestionis,ifarecurrencewasdetectedintheasymptomaticstage,willearlydetectionalterthenaturalcourseofthedisease?Severalrandomizedtrialshaveaddressedthesequestionsandtheresultssuggestedthat the overall survival of patients with recurrent disease were comparable regardless of whether they were diagnosed when symptoms developed or when they were asymptomatic.

Introduction
Directaccesstothevascularsystemisconsideredoneofthefoundationsofmodernclinicalpractice.Inbroadterms,vascularaccessincludesanyformofcannulationofarteriesorveins.
Thedecisiontoobtainvascularaccesscanbeamajorchallengetotheattendingsurgeon.Factors,suchasthepatient’sageandsize,theavailabilityofvenousaccesssites,the indicationforaccess, and even the anticipated length of use, can potentially complicate the decision.Althoughobtainingvascularaccessisgenerallyasafeprocedure,itisnotwithoutcomplications,someofwhichcanbelifethreatening.
Therefore,theobjectivesofthissessionarethefollowing:
Tobrieflyreviewtheindicationsforpercutaneousvascularaccess1. To provide practical considerations on the various options and techniques for2. percutaneous accessTo discuss the possible complications and ways to avoid or minimize these3. complications
52Indications
Theindicationsforvascularaccessarenumerous.Ingeneral,theseincludeadministrationorfacilitationofthefollowing:
Total parenteral nutrition1. Chemotherapy2. Venous access for the chronically ill requiring repeated venipunctures for blood3. sampling and medicationsLongtermantibiotics(longerthan3-4weeks)4. Emergencyaccess(e.g.tomanagecardiopulmonaryarrestortrauma)5. Critical care monitoring6. Plasmapheresis7. Hemodialysis8.
Vascular Access Options Withmoderntechnologicaladvancesinvascularaccess,avarietyofoptionsarenowavailabletophysicians.Ingeneral,vascularaccesscanessentiallybedividedinto2broadcategories:peripheraland central venous. Peripheral, short-termcatheters are safe for givingmany IVmedications (eg,antibiotics),forprovidingmaintenanceIVfluids,andforbloodsamplingforlaboratorytests.However,numerousfluidsandmedications(eg,hyperosmolarsolutions,resuscitativedrugs)cannotbegiventhroughperipheralcathetersbecauseoflocalandvenousirritation.Likewise,certainindicationssuchaspatients needing long-term treatment (eg, antibiotics), chemotherapy, andTPN require centralvenousaccess.Table1comparesthevariousoptionsavailableforvascularaccess.

Complications (central venous access) Complications for vascular access can be divided into acute (during the insertion periodor shortlyafter)or long term(seeTable2).Thephysicianshouldhavea thoroughknowledgeoftheanatomyandof thepotentialcomplications fromtheprocedure to identifyandquickly treatanycomplicationsthatmayarise.Inaddition,thephysicianshouldhaveworkingknowledgeofthevascular-accessdevicetobeusedtoavoidconfusionandpotentialmishandlingofthecatheter.Finally,athoroughpreoperativeevaluationshouldbeundertaken.Itshouldincludeareviewoftheresultsofcoagulationstudiesandattentiontotheplacementofpreviousvascular-accessdevices.Informedconsentshouldbeobtainedanddocumentedonthepatient’schart.
