The baby needs to be admitted for IV fluids and correction of abnormalities in salt content of the body, which is often present because of vomiting. If the baby is brought soon enough, the bowel can be put back with the help of air enema. In this air is pumped up the bottom under x-ray and the bowel is reduced back. If this fails or the baby is brought late, surgery is required. Under general anaesthesia, through a small cut in the belly, the bowel mass is reduced manually. If this fails, the affected portion needs to be removed and continuity restored. |
