Early Enteral Nutrition in Neonates Following Abdominal Surgery

Abstract: Introduction: Nil per oral (NPO)/nil by mouth has been the most commonly practiced convention in post-operative period. Misplaced fear of aspiration led to routine prescription of “NPO.” Starvation leads to atrophy of the gut mucosa leading to decreased barrier effect of gut mucosa. This starvation-induced gut mucosal injury increases septic complications and mortality. The study aims at establishing the feasibility and effect of early enteral nutrition (EEN) in neonates following abdominal surgeries.Materials… Show more

“…There is high‐quality evidence to support early enteral feeding in post‐surgical neonates. Neonates that were fed early have a shorter LOS, and decreased SSIs with no increase in anastomotic leaks [63, 64]. Additionally, in very low birth weight infants, the early introduction of low volume feeds showed no increased incidence of NEC and a decreased incidence of sepsis [65, 66].…”

“…Існують високого рівня якості докази щодо користі раннього початку харчування у прооперованих новонароджених. У дослідженнях було показано, що у новонароджених, яких починали годувати рано, строки перебування в стаціонарі були коротшими, а частота інфікування рани та неспроможності анастомозів були нижчими [23]. Крім того, у дітей з низькою при народженні масою тіла годування малими об'ємами не призводило до збільшення випадків виникнення некротизуючого ентероколіту, а також знижувало частоту розвитку сепсису [20].…”

“…There are many reasons for Gastrointestinal tract ( GIT ) surgery and the aim after surgery is to establish infants on enteral feeding ( EF ) and wean them off of TPN. The fear of aspiration, prevent nausea, vomiting and anastomotic complications led to routine prescription of "Nothing per oral / nil by mouth" [1] The duration of postoperative fasting is variable and can range from 0 to 5 days depending on the operation. This period of fasting may prolong length of hospital stays ( LOHS ), increase use of TPN, social effects and signi cant costs to the health system.…”
