Intussusception

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of dexamethasone in decreasing early RI.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate of pneumatic reduction of intussusception with and without sedation.

Objective: To determine the incidence of intussusception among infants in Canada both before and adter introduction of rotavirus immunization programs.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with intestinal necrosis in pediatric patients with failed non-surgical reduction for intussusception.

Objective: We test the hypothesis that air enema reduction of ileocolic intussusception results in lower radiation dose than liquid contrast enema independent of fluroscopy time. We describe a role for automatic exposure control in this dose difference.

Objective: To assess the predictive value of GI bleeding (positive guaiac test, bloody stool and rectal bleeding) in evaluation of intussusception.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a practice guideline of postreduction management of intussusception in children on the length of stay (LOS) from reduction in the pediatric emergency department (PED) and on the incidence of recurrence.

Objectives: Intussusception is the most common abdominal emergency in pediatric patients aged 6 months to 3 years. There is often a delay in diagnosis, as the presentation can be confused for viral gastroenteritis. Given this scenario, we questioned the practice of performing emergency reductions in children during the night when minimal support staff are available. Pneumatic reduction is not a benign procedure, with the most significant risk being bowel perforation. We performed this analysis to determine whether it would be safe to delay reduction in these patients until normal working hours when more support staff are available.

Objective: The association between the risk of hospital admission for intussusception and maternal smoking was examined, using a nationwide population-based longitudinal survey begun in Japan in 2010.

Objective: To determine whether older children are at greater risk of requiring operative intervention and/or having pathology causing lead points, such that enema reduction should not be attempted.

Objective: We present a case series comparing lactic acid levels in children with suspected and confirmed intussusception.

The aim of this study was to compare hydrostatic reduction using morphine analgesia compared to procedural sedation with eskatamine in terms of success rate, adverse events, and duration for reduction.

The purpose of this study was to present our 20 years' experience in intussusception reductions using saline enema under ultrasound control and to assess its efficiency and safety.

This retrospective study evaluates the efficacy and safety of ultrasound in diagnosis and treatment of intussusception performed solely by pediatric surgeons.

The objective of this study was to identify causes of irreducible intussusception after contrast enema and to correlate imaging findings with surgical and histopathological findings.

The objective of this study was to examine whether post-reduction admission to hospital is required in patients diagnosed with intussusception.

The aim of this study was to investigate the benefit of abdominal radiography in intussusception by determining diagnostic accuracy and analysing correlation of AR findings with outcome.

This study examined trends in intussusception hospitalizations before (2000-2005) and after (2007-2013) rotavirus vaccine introduction to assess whether this observed temporal risk translates into more hospitalized cases at the population level.

The aim of this study was to review the ultrasonographic features of secondary intussusception (SI) in children and assess the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of pediatric SI.

Objective: To verify the presence of a possible correlation between pharmacological premedication and the percentage of hydrostatic reduction of intussusception in paediatric patients.

Objective: To compare outcomes between delayed repeat enema (DRE) and immediate surgery (IS) in children with ileocolic intussusception who fail initial enema reduction.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of postreduction, hospital-level interventions among children with successful reduction of ileocolic intussusception and identify factors that predict the need for such interventions.

The purpose of this project was to implement a protocol facilitating discharge from the emergency department (ED) after successful radiologic ileocolic intussusception reduction in a pediatric referral centre.

Objective: To assess the association between the appearance of intussusception in children and medication intake in the immediately preceding period (2-15 days).

Objective: To review all paediatric patients with intussusception over the last 17 years.

Objective: To show that pediatric intussusception could be managed with discharge from the emergency department after successful reduction without increasing morbidity, potentially yielding significant health care cost savings.

Objective: To assess the utilization of immediate surgical services at the time of radiologic intussusception reduction.

This study examines the possiblilty of a small increase in risk of intussusception after monovalent rotavirus vaccination in a population in the United States.

Objectives: To determine the rate and timing of recurrent intussusception after successful enema reduction and describe any associated complications.

Objective: To determine whether using antibiotics before reduction provided any improvement in outcomes.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of clinical findings associated with intussusception based on age and to evaluate the test characteristics of the presence of air in the ascending colon on abdominal radiographs and the effectiveness of ultrasound in diagnosing intussusception.

This study investigates the performance characteristics of bedside emergency department (ED) ultrasonography by nonradiologist physician sonographers in the diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception in children.

This paper describes the utility of emergency department (ED)/outpatient management after enema reduction for childhood intussusception.

Objectives: To determine predictive clinical criteria and develop a decision tree to risk-stratify children with possible intussusception.

Objectives: To describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of hospitalized children with enema-reduced intussusception and to determine the necessity of hospitalization.

Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of abdominal x-rays in the diagnosis of intussusception when interpreted by pediatric emergency physicians.

Objective: To determine whether there are clinical or sonographic findings that can be used to differentiate benign self-limited small-bowel intussusception from pathologic small-bowel intussusception that necessitates surgical intervention.

Objectives: To compare air reduction, barium reduction under fluoroscopy, and saline reduction under ultrasound guidance for diagnosis and treatment of intussusception involved in 147 patients.

Objectives: To determine whether changes in management have affected the rate and patterns of recurrence as well as long-term outcome in children with multiple recurrences.
