Description
Chukwu and four co-authors review ultrasound-guided pneumatic enema for treating intussusception in children at a teaching hospital in Nigeria, in a 2024 paper. In this condition, one part of the bowel slides into the next, and air pressure can push it back without surgery.
Air reduction is often guided by fluoroscopy, which uses ionizing radiation and needs machines that many low-income settings lack. Their study tracked young children whose condition was confirmed by ultrasound, then treated with air under ultrasound guidance. Children with a burst bowel, infection of the abdomen, deep shock, or a repeat case were left out.
