Investigations, monitoring and Treatment
Monitoring is not necessary, but may be used if helpful for parents. Investigations should only be performed
if the results might lead to treatment that will improve the baby’s quality of life or help with the diagnosis and
management of subsequent pregnancies. Treatments such as antibiotics, oxygen, anticonvulsants, anti reflux
medication, insertion of rickham reservoir or VP shunts, hernia repair can have a role in symptom control.
Immunisations should be given as per national immunisation programme.
