Usually occurs 4-10 days after initial feeding. Seen in preterm and high risk infants! b. Due to stasis in the GI tract, decreased blood supply leads to ischemia →bacterial proliferation (HUGE PROBLEM!) c. S/S i. Distended abdomen, bloating, gastric residual that is bile tinged, occult blood in stool, lethargy, poor feeding, pale skin, and bradycardia and hypotension (which are s/s of sepsis!) d. Treatment i. DC the feedings to rest the bowel ii. Gastric tube used to decompress iii. Abx used to treat sepsis
