NCT03205553

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, double-arm study designed to evaluate the tolerability of direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) in neonates with gastroschisis. The experimental arm (DPR group) will receive adjuvant DPR with standard treatment for gastroschisis (staged silo closure). The control arm (SoC group) will receive standard treatment for gastroschisis without DPR. The Research Team will prospectively enroll all neonates with the diagnosis of gastroschisis presenting to ACH within 12 hours after birth for whom consent is signed by the parent(s)/legally authorized representative (LAR). The Research Team anticipates enrolling 40 subjects at Arkansas Children's Hospital. All subjects that have their abdominal wall defect closed will be defined as having completed active participation in the study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Days to Full Enteral Feeds

    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.

    Up to Hospital Discharge (average 30 days)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Days to Abdominal Wall Closure

    Up to 7 days

  • Days on Total Parental Nutrition (TPN)

    Until Day of Discharge, an average of 29 days

  • Days to Intestinal Motility

    Up to 3 weeks post-closure

  • Number of Days in the Hospital

    Until Day of Discharge, an average of 40 days

Study Arms (2)

Standard of Care (SoC) Treatment Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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.

Procedure: SoC Staged Silo Closure

Direct Peritoneal Resuscitation (DPR) Treatment Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The DPR group will be placed in silo shortly after birth within 2 hours of admission to the NICU per standard practice. 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 will be treated with adjuvant direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) and subsequently serially reduced in silo until the abdomen is closed (during the entirety of silo placement), which is usually four to five days.

Procedure: SoC Staged Silo ClosureDrug: Peritoneal Dialysis Solution/Dextrose 1.5%

Interventions

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.

Also known as: SoC Staged Serial Reduction
Direct Peritoneal Resuscitation (DPR) Treatment GroupStandard of Care (SoC) Treatment Group

Serial reductions will be performed with silastic silo placement for staged reduction with adjuvant direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR). A JP drain will be 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 will then be 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 (generally 3-5 days), but not to exceed 7 days maximum. Fluid will be warmed at bedside using dry heat not to exceed 37°C/98°F. The initial bolus infusion will be 10 mL/kg of dialysate. If tolerated, each subsequent infusion will be increased by 10 mL/kg up to a goal infusion of 40 mL/kg (to a maximum volume of 100 mL) as tolerated. Dialysate will dwell for 1 hour after instillation of fluid. Any excess fluid will then be removed via JP drain.
