Infants with gastroschisis typically have poor intestinal motility for the first weeks to
months after birth. Prokinetic agents are often used in these infants to improve intestinal
motility in an attempt to quicken the attainment of enteric feeds. However, the evidence to
support this practice remains weak. Investigators hypothesize that a prokinetic agent given
intravenously (infused into a vein) may be effective in improving gut motility in children
with gastroschisis.
