Filter by:The objective of the study is to compare the time of attainment of full enteral feeds in preterm neonates between 27-32 weeks of gestation started on early total enteral feeding (ETEF) with those started on conventional enteral feeding (CEF).
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the efficacy of enteral amoxicillin for the treatment of children with feeding intolerance in pediatric intensive care unit. Children with feeding intolerance will be randomized into study and comparison groups. The study group will receive amoxicillin 10 mg/kg by nasogastric tube 3 times daily 10 minutes before bolus gastric feeding for 7 days. The comparison group will receive equal volume of distilled water as a placebo. The primary outcome will be the improvement of feeding intolerance on day 7 study timepoint.
Malnutrition is associated with negative impact on morbidity and mortality of critically ill patients. Therefore, in patients unable of peroral intake, the nutritional support is indicated. The preferred form of nutritional support is enteral, the more natural form, compared to parenteral. The enteral nutrition is cheaper and is associated with better outcomes and lower incidence of associated complications. The intolerance of enteral feeding is common in critically ill patients, and is associated with insufficient energy and protein intake, that could be linked with the complications such aspiration pneumonia. The optimization of enteral feeding tolerance is therefore one of the research priorities. Implementation of feeding protocols is associated with better tolerance. The enteral feeding could be administered as a oligomeric or polymeric formula. The are preliminary data from adult population pointing at better tolerance of oligomeric feeding formula.
achievement of optimal postnatal growth by adequate enteral nutrition in critically ill preterm infants is a challenge of NICU. signs like abdominal distension, reflux, vomiting, nec is a factors of discontinuing fedding in preterm. this factors plays a role in decisions about which method of gavage feeding is adopted. we compare two different feeding method to achive less fedding tolerence.
Blenderized diets consist of a wide range of table foods such as fruits, vegetables, meat and legumes, pureed in a blender and administered via gastrostomy tube. In a recent study, the investigators reported that children receiving blenderized feeds via gastrostomy had fewer total admissions and respiratory admissions, total emergency room visits, and improved gastrointestinal symptom scores compared to those fed formula. The goal of this project is to understand how these diets affect gastroesophageal reflux burden.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of calorie and enteral feeding timing on survival in critically ill children receiving inotropic, vasopressor and inodilatory supplements.
The current study will enroll patients who are going to require enteral nutrition support for at least 4 weeks and randomize them to standard polymeric formulas or blenderized tube feeding. They will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about their tolerance of enteral feeds. They will also be asked to provide stool samples before enrollment and after 4-6 weeks. The study is trying to assess whether the use of whole food in blenderized tube feeding will be better tolerated and also lead to greater diversity of microbiome.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a specific nutritional formula for diabetics on the development of hyperglycemia in patients with recent non-diabetic stroke who require admission and enteral nutritional support by nasogastric tube. As well as the effect on metabolic control, development of comorbidities, hospital stay, readmissions, mortality and tolerance of the formula under study.
