Abstract
Intestinal failure in neonatal and pediatric populations can be debilitating for patients and difficult to manage for clinicians. Management strategies include referral to an intestinal rehabilitation center, small volume trophic feeds to stimulate the intestine with cautious advancement of enteral nutrition using a standardized and evidence-based feeding protocol, and supplemental parenteral nutrition to optimize an infant's growth and nutrition. In this review, we discuss the causes of intestinal failure, parenteral nutrition strategies, enteral feeding initiation and advancement protocols, as well as the challenges in feeding an infant with intestinal failure.Entities:
