  • Title: Transpyloric feeding in the pediatric intensive care unit.
    Author: Babbitt C.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 2007 May; 44(5):646-9. PubMed ID: 17460503.
    Abstract:
    The approach to achieving and maintaining nutritional support in pediatric intensive care unit patients continues to evolve with newer techniques such as transpyloric feeding. We reviewed our transpylorically fed patients over a 4-year period and found that we achieved adequate nutritional support in 96% of them. We did find an increase in necrotizing enterocolitis in cyanotic patients and recommend that these patients be fed with caution when transpyloric feeding is used.
