Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Summary

Responsive feeding for preterm infants may help them achieve oral feeding earlier, but evidence is limited. More research is needed to confirm benefits for infant growth and hospital stay duration.

Area of Science:

Neonatal care
Pediatric nutrition
Evidence-based medicine

Background:

Responsive feeding, based on infant cues, may improve preterm infant outcomes and parental satisfaction.
Scheduled interval feeding is a common alternative practice in neonatal intensive care units.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare responsive feeding with scheduled interval feeding in preterm infants.
To assess effects on infant growth, hospital stay duration, and parental satisfaction.

Main Methods:

Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs.
Searches included Cochrane Neonatal Review Group, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases.
Data extraction and risk of bias assessment performed independently by two reviewers.

Published on: September 22, 2023

Main Results:

Nine RCTs with 593 infants were included; trials were generally small with methodological weaknesses.
Responsive feeding showed a trend towards slower weight gain but reduced time to full oral feeding.
No strong or consistent effect found on overall hospitalisation duration; parental views were not reported.

Conclusions:

Current data lack strong evidence for responsive feeding's impact on key preterm infant outcomes.
Some evidence suggests earlier transition to oral feeding with responsive feeding, but requires cautious interpretation due to trial limitations.
A large, high-quality RCT is necessary to confirm findings and explore other outcomes.
