The purpose of this study was to audit enteral nutrition administration practices to quantify errors of execution and identify which components of the enteral nutrition order were labeled, administered, or documented incorrectly.
We identified lack of consistency in dietitian evaluations for our pediatric patients receiving home enteral nutrition. We underwent a quality improvement initiative to improve rates of adherence to standard frequency of dietitian consults and referrals among patients receiving home enteral nutrition.
The aim of the study was to: 1.) evaluate the impact of a quality improvement program on the reduction of feeding tube obstruction frequencies, 2.) analyze the predictive variables of this safety incident, and 3.) estimate the economic costs related to the quality improvement program.
The aim was to standardize the management of acute pancreatitis with fluid
resuscitation, pain management, and early enteral feeds.
The objective was to quantify nutrition intakes in patients exclusively orally fed and in those receiving medical nutrition solutions or both.
The dual aims of this project were to reduce the percentage of infants discharged with postnatal growth failure to less than 50% within 2 years and to maintain a rate of postnatal growth failure under 50%.
The objective was to demonstrate that an enteral nutrition formula with 37% protein can deliver most of prescribed protein, without overfeeding calories.
A quality improvement initiative was implemented because central line-associated bloodstream infections occur more frequently in high-risk pediatric patients, those with intestinal failure and parenteral nutrition dependent.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether physical properties of enteral nutrition influence pump accuracy and formula delivery.
Develop standardized nutritional guidelines toward increased growth velocity in premature infants.
