Abstract:
Although the hallmark of intestinal failure (IF) management - also known as intestinal rehabilitation - is parenteral nutrition, many of the complications that arise from this complex condition require additional pharmacologic interventions to prevent more serious consequences such as intestinal failure associated liver disease and central line associated bloodstream infections. This brief review highlights some of the more commonly used treatment strategies in pediatric patients with IF along with a review how different types of short bowel anatomy impact drug administration.

Small Intestine
The small intestine is divided into three main sections - the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum, approximately 25 cm long, is nearest the stomach. It acts as a 'mixing bowl,' where chyme (partially digested food) blends with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver. The duodenum's unique...
Large Intestine
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...
