Small bowel atresia - Initial management

What is the initial management?

Babies with small bowel atresia vomit soon after birth and the vomit is bile-stained (green). Milk feeds will be stopped. A tube will be passed through the nose into the stomach to drain away any fluid and air collecting in it. Fluids will be given through a vein (drip).
