摘要:

Pediatric patients now survive and thrive because of advancements made in nutrition support. Growth and development is of paramount importance in this population and adequate nutrition is necessary. Growth of premature infants receiving nutrition support mirrors intrauterine rates. Survival without nutrition support is not always assured because of inadequate nutrient stores. Institution of nutrition support in children with chronic illnesses also promotes growth and development. Enteral nutrition is preferred because of immunologic benefits, lower cost, and less frequent infectious complications. Parenteral nutrition should be considered when enteral nutrition fails or is contraindicated. Successful nutrition rehabilitation can result if both enteral and parenteral nutrition are initiated slowly and advanced as tolerated. Ongoing monitoring is essential while promoting “normal” growth and development.

摘要:

The increasing size and longevity of the geriatric patient population dictates that all health care practitioners become more cognizant ofthe unique requirements for nutritional assessment and support of the elderly. This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of the nutrition support needs of the old and oldest‐old patients requiring enteral or parenteral feeding. When a nutrition support formula individualized for the geriatric patient is being developed, there is a fine line between excess and deficit, requiring the involvement of the entire support team in monitoring the success of feeding. Indications for choosing enteral or parenteral feeding are considered excessively invasive by some and necessarily “heroic” by others. The patient and his or her family should be part of the decision‐making process.

摘要:

The treatment of eating disorders requires the expertise of a multidisciplinary team. This case presents the psychologic and physiologic challenges observed in managing these patients. Attention must be directed toward the use of techniques to obtain a commitment from patients to meet a therapeutic goal. Care must be taken to avoid overaggressive feeding of patients with eating disorders to avoid the refeeding syndrome.

摘要:

Preterm infants exhibit special nutrient needs that differ substantially from other patient populations. Special characteristics include increased energy and protein requirements that must be addressed to prevent tissue catabolism and support growth. The immaturity of some organ systems may also complicate the administration of nutrition support. This article describes important characteristics of enteral and parenteral nutrition as it applies to the preterm infant.

摘要:

Monitoring of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) by drug use evaluation appears to be a reasonable approach to characterizing use of parenteral nutrition within an institution. Development of specific criteria for use of TPN may be difficult because of the broad nature of published guidelines. Criteria for use of TPN in tumor‐bearing patients is controversial. Results from recent investigations conflict with previous generally accepted guidelines for providing TPN in cancer patients. This article reviews published guidelines for use of TPN as well as application of these guidelines for drug use evaluation. Criteria for use of TPN and results of a subsequent drug use evaluation in a cancer institution are presented.
