Although standard supportive care for bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients includes total parenteral nutrition (TPN), it has not been shown that this is the most appropriate method of nutritional support. To determine whether current BMT recipients require TPN during the early recovery period, we conducted a prospective, randomized clinical trial comparing TPN and an individualized enteral f...

INTRODUCTION: Feeding critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation through a gastric tube can be challenging. Parenteral nutrition is often preferred when enteral feeding problematic. Transpyloric has been identified as an optimal method of for seriously premature infants. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the advantages transpyloric combined with artificial compared in neonatal patie...

Herein, we present the case of a 45-years-old woman with a foreign body (dental prosthesis) ingestion lodged in the esophagus(Figure.1). The foreign body was extracted by rigid esophagoscopy after severe manipulation. In 24 hours, the patient became febrile with emphysema in the neck. laboratory data showed leukocytosis and CT scan revealed signs of esophageal perforation(Figure.2). Surgical ex...

It is unclear when and how to start enteral feeding for preterm infants when mother's milk is not available. We hypothesized that early and slow advancement with either formula or bovine colostrum stimulates gut maturation and prevents necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm pigs, used as models for preterm infants. Pigs were given either total parenteral nutrition (TPN, n = 14) or slowly ad...

BACKGROUND Prevention of postnatal growth restriction of very preterm infants still represents a challenge for neonatologists. As standard feeding regimens have proven to be inadequate. Improved feeding strategies are needed to promote growth. Aim of the present study was to evaluate whether a set of nutritional strategies could limit the postnatal growth restriction of a cohort of preterm infa...

Pemberian nutrisi pada pasien dengan perawatan kritis umumnya diberi secara Enteral dan Nutrisi Parenteral total (TPN). sangat diperlukan dimana dalam beberapa kasus pemberian makanan enteral tidak memungkinkan energi target terpenuhi enteral, sehingga perlu dialihkan ke parenteral terutama keadaan ketidakstabilan hemodinamik yang parah, obstruksi usus, perdarahan saluran cerna bagian atas, mun...

Introduction: Patients are kept nil per oral (NPO) after surgery for gastric cancer and all patients receives intravenous fluids till feed is commenced. There established benefit of enteral nutrition cancer. Early feeding comes with lots hesitation execution, so to offer benefits early avoid feeding, nasojejunal tube (NJ) can be used as alternative jejunostomy (FJ) also total parenteral (TPN) a...

Specialized nutrition support (SNS) is required when oral intake either limited or not possible for a prolonged period of time. Common indications SNS include patients in critical care, those with dysphagia, unconscious who cannot be fed, severely malnourished patients, and intestinal malabsorption. The two forms are enteral parenteral nutrition. Enteral feeding always preferred whenever possib...

Pediatric patients in hospital are at risk of malnutrition at admission and even during their hospitalization. Although the concept of nutritional support team (NST) was introduced to hospitals for optimal nutritional care since 1960s and the benefits of pediatric NST have been proven by many studies and reports in terms of patient clinical outcome and cost saving, the pediatric NST is not wide...

Critical illness is characterised by nutritional and metabolic disorders, resulting in increased muscle catabolism, fat-free mass loss, and hyperglycaemia. The objective of the nutritional support is to limit fat-free mass loss, which has negative consequences on clinical outcome and recovery. Early enteral nutrition is recommended by current guidelines as the first choice feeding route in ICU ...
