Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Establishment of enteral nutrition is necessary after intestinal surgery. In resource-strained environments, it can be critical. This study examined the effect of early feeding in pediatric patients undergoing stoma closure in a country with mid-level socioeconomic indices. METHODS:With parenteral consent and ethics board approval, patients were prospectively enrolled in early feeding (Group 1), starting feeds 24h post-operation with a protocol driven increase. They were compared with similar patients managed without a specific protocol over the 12 months prior (Group 2). RESULTS:There were 31 patients in each group with similar mean age and weight. The mean first sustained feed was achieved at 28.5 ± 4.4 h* in Group 1 vs. 153.8 ± 28.6 h in Group 2. Full feeds were achieved within 62.3 ± 19.2 h* vs. 196.0 ± 40.5 h in Group 1 and 2, respectively. Mean hospital stay was 7.2 days* in Group 1 vs. 9.4 days in Group 2. A reduction in postoperative fever and wound infections was observed in Group 1 (*p<0.05). CONCLUSION:Early enteral feeding after elective bowel anastomosis is well tolerated in children and results in shorter hospital stay and fewer complications.
