Our aim is to provide an evidence-based feeding algorithm for neonates with severe congenital heart disease undergoing surgical repair.
A careful hand feeding program was launched in a geriatric convalescent hospital. We compared the rates of feeding tube insertion before and after program implementation and determined risk factors for feeding tube insertion. For patients on careful hand feeding, we evaluated their sustainability on oral feeding and the rates of hospital readmissions compared with tube feeding patients.
A 17-year-old male with spinal muscular atrophy Type 1, tracheostomy with ventilator dependent, gastrostomy tube feeding was seen by the gastroenterologist following treatment for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
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.
The purpose of this survey was to determine current practices about delivering nutrition therapy to critically ill patients with COVID-19 and identify barriers to its delivery.
The purpose was to compare nutrition and health outcomes before and after implementing a standardized enteral feeding protocol on nutrition and health outcomes in VLBW preterm infants.
The purpose was to compare nutrition and health outcomes before and after a standardized enteral feeding protocol on nutrition and health outcomes in very low birth weight preterm infants.
The purpose of this survey was to determine current practices in nutrition therapy and identify barriers to its delivery.
We hypothesize that bolus delivery would shorten time to goal nutrition and increase the percentage of goal feeds delivered.
