This study defines the existing barriers for early enteral nutrition in critically ill children and to analyzes the differences in nutrient supply, complications, and outcomes between early enteral nutrition and late enteral nutrition.

We examine whether revising the enteral nutrition intolerance definition of an algorithm would decrease enteral nutrition interruptions and improve nutrient delivery in critically ill children.

This review explores differences in enteral formulations, identifies implications for clinical practice, and reviews evidenced-based clinical guidelines to assist clinicians in enteral formula selection.

Emerging data demonstrate that the use of peptide-based formulas in patients with enteral feeding intolerance may improve clinical outcomes along with a corresponding reduction in healthcare utilization and potentially the cost of care.

Caregivers must understand the nature of and indications for specific formulas to treat diseases, provide complete nutrition to patients, and avoid harm.

Individuals and their families who require home enteral nutrition undergo major changes in family dynamics. They would benefit from an approach that provides ongoing nutrition, hydration, enteral access, and quality of life assessments from knowledgeable clinicians.

The purpose of this work is to update reviews that study the association of malnutrition and a poor prognosis.

This guideline informs physicians, nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, caregivers and other home parenteral nutrition providers, as well as healthcare administrators and policy makers, about appropriate and safe home parenteral nutrition provision.

The objective was to determine burden on caregivers of children with intestinal failure receiving long-term parenteral nutrition.

The study compares growth and fatty acids in extremely low birth weight infants who received 100% soybean oil emulsions or multi-oil emulsion with 15% fish oil.
