Major complications of jejunal feeding in children
2019, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In these patients, bowel necrosis could result from local flora becoming pathogenic, or less likely, contamination of feeds [8]. Neurologically impaired children have been noted to have higher rates of postoperative complications in general when compared with neurologically normal children [9,10]. In addition, feeds used may be hyperosmolar and could theoretically cause a fluid shift in the bowel, potentially resulting in compromise of vascular flow, but evidence for this is limited [8,11].
Three cases of conservatively treated pneumatosis intestinalis associated with jejunal feeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy
2010, e-SPENCitation Excerpt :Patients with a compromised intestinal blood flow are at higher risk of developing PI related complications. In patients with compromised blood flow due to sepsis, hypotension or high-dose vasopressin drugs enteral tube feeding (and oral intake) should be discontinued to prevent the development of PI, especially when they develop a distended abdomen.9,16,20 In conclusion, post-operative NCJ-feeding has a low complication rate, but major complications like PI can occur.
Enteral nutrition with high-dose vasopressors
2021, Critical Care NurseCitation Excerpt :Six observational studies before 2000 found a greater incidence than more recent studies of NOBN,9-14 which historically has been the basis for concern with EN when vasopressors are being administered.
