  • Title: Clinical assessment of the child with intestinal failure.
    Author: Soden JS.
    Journal: Semin Pediatr Surg; 2010 Feb; 19(1):10-9. PubMed ID: 20123269.
    Abstract:
    The management of the child with intestinal failure is complex, and it is developing into a multispecialty field of its own led by expert teams of both transplant and nontransplant surgeons, gastroenterologists, and dieticians. Patients are at risk for medical, surgical, and nutritional complications that should be anticipated so that they can be prevented or managed appropriately. Catheter associated infections and intestinal failure associated liver diseases are important complications that impact the likelihood of bowel adaptation and long-term survival. The clinical assessment of a pediatric intestinal failure patient should include evaluation of the child within the context of recognized prognostic factors.
