PURPOSE: To determine current perceptions of doctors, nurses and parents for the colour of a neonatal vomit which should prompt an urgent surgical review.
METHODS: A voluntary scoping survey of parents/guardians of patients and non-surgical healthcare professionals was conducted with respondents asked to choose from 8 different selections in a colour swatch from pale yellow to dark green. A control group consisted of 13 paediatric surgeons. Data were analysed using the paired t test, Fishers exact test. A p value of < 0.05 was considered to be significant.
RESULTS: 365 participants responded: 36% (131/365) parents, 18% (64/365) nurses and 46% (166/365) doctors. 4/365 (1%) did not state their role. 343 participants completed all questions and responses were analysed using total responses for each question. 82% (121/148) of doctors and 78% (50/64) of nurses had more than 3 years of post-graduate experience. Overall, 63% (227/361) of participants (100% paediatric surgeons, 78% other doctors, 75% nurses/midwives & 30% parents) considered dark and light green vomits to be a sign of intestinal obstruction. 67% (242/361) of participants (100% paediatric surgeons, 72% other doctors, 56% nurses/midwives and 62% parents) believed dark and light green vomiting needed an urgent surgical referral. There were significant differences between the control group and other groups in terms of whether the neonate could wait until the next day for a review; nursing staff (p = 0.0002), postnatal/midwifery (p = < 0.0001), emergency medicine (p = 0.04), general practice (p = 0.002), neonatal (p = 0.0001) and paediatricians (p = 0.005). Only the neonatologists (p = 0.04), nursing staff (p = 0.001) and postnatal/midwifery (p = 0.004) believed that the neonate could have safe observation.
CONCLUSION: Although the perception that green vomiting is potentially serious is acknowledged by the majority of healthcare professionals surveyed, there is still a requirement for more targeted educational practices in nursing, midwifery and medical staff.
