NEC:  WorkUp for Stage III

In addition to the Work-Up for Stage II, the following items should be considered:
 
 
Blood pressure support (fluids, colloids, pressors)
Surgical management if 
    Perforation (usually within 24-48 hours of pneumatosis) 
    Fixed sentinel loop more than 24 hours 
      Consider paracentesis
    RLQ mass 
    Abdominal wall erythema
In extreme cases, consider an abdominal drain if unable to tolerate surgery
