Abstract
Establishing enteral nutrition after the birth of preterm infants presents numerous challenges, particularly for those in special situations. Various disease factors and medical interventions impede the establishment of enteral feeding, leading to conflicts and controversies regarding feeding goals, feeding methods, and the challenges and solutions faced by these infants. A critical issue for clinical physicians is how to safely and promptly establish enteral nutrition to achieve full enteral feeding as quickly as possible. The consensus formulation working group, based on both domestic and overseas research, adopted the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation, and formed an expert consensus on enteral nutrition management for preterm infants in special situations. This consensus provides 14 recommendations for 9 common special situations, aiming to offer guidance on enteral nutrition management for preterm infants to improve their short and long-term outcomes.

Nutritional Strategies for Preterm Neonates and Preterm Neonates Undergoing Surgery: New Insights for Practice and Wrong Beliefs to Uproot. Nutrients 2024; 16:1719.

Abstract
The nutrition of preterm infants remains contaminated by wrong beliefs that reflect inexactitudes and perpetuate old practices. In this narrative review, we report current evidence in preterm neonates and in preterm neonates undergoing surgery. Convictions that necrotizing enterocolitis is reduced by the delay in introducing enteral feeding, a slow advancement in enteral feeds, and the systematic control of residual gastric volumes, should be abandoned. On the contrary, these practices prolong the time to reach full enteral feeding. The length of parenteral nutrition should be as short as possible to reduce the infectious risk. Intrauterine growth restriction, hemodynamic and respiratory instability, and patent ductus arteriosus should be considered in advancing enteral feeds, but they must not translate into prolonged fasting, which can be equally dangerous. Clinicians should also keep in mind the risk of refeeding syndrome in case of high amino acid intake and inadequate electrolyte supply, closely monitoring them. Conversely, when preterm infants undergo surgery, nutritional strategies are still based on retrospective studies and opinions rather than on randomized controlled trials. Finally, this review also highlights how the use of adequately fortified human milk is strongly recommended, as it offers unique benefits for immune and gastrointestinal health and neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Reproducibly define CPAP Belly Syndrome (CBS) in preterm infants and describe associated demographics, mechanical factors, and outcomes. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective case-control study was conducted in infants <32 weeks gestation in the Stanford Children's NICU from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021. CBS was radiographically defined by a pediatric radiologist. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and comparator tests. RESULTS Analysis included 41 infants with CBS and 69 infants without. CBS was associated with younger gestational age (median 27.7 vs 30 weeks, p < 0.001) and lower birthweight (median 1.00 vs 1.31 kg, p < 0.001). Infants with CBS were more likely to receive bilevel respiratory support and higher positive end expiratory pressure. Infants with CBS took longer to advance enteral feeds (median 10 vs 7 days, p = 0.003) and were exposed to more abdominal radiographs. CONCLUSIONS Future CBS therapies should target small infants, prevent air entry from above, and aim to reduce time to full enteral feeds and radiographic exposure.

Abstract
Objective To explore the relationship between different modes of respiratory support and feeding intolerance (FI) in preterm infants over the course of their hospitalization and to provide recommendations for the management of enteral feeding in preterm infants requiring respiratory support. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed with the preterm infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University between June 2015 and November 2018. The modes of respiratory support were used as independent variables and FI was used as the outcome indicator. The preterm infants were grouped according to the specific modes of respiratory support they were on over the course of their hospitalization and the relationship between each mode of respiratory support and FI was compared. Results A total of 272 preterm infants were enrolled in the study. After adjusting for confounding factors, findings from logistics regression suggested that, compared with normobaric oxygen, high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) might reduce the incidence of FI (odds ratio [OR]=0.53, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.06-4.77), while other modes of respiratory support might increase the incidence of FI. Compared with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP), bilevel positive airway pressure (BIPAP) and invasive ventilation might increase the incidence of FI, with the adjusted OR being 1.31 and 1.69, and 95% CI being 0.67-2.55 and 0.65-4.41, respectively. The incidence of FI in BIPAP and invasive ventilation was similar (adjusted OR=1.00, 95% CI: 0.41-2.42). However, the P-values of the above results were all greater than 0.05. Conclusion HFNC has the lowest incidence of FI in the respiratory support modes examined in this study. Attention should be paid to enteral feeding management when using NCPAP, BIPAP, and invasive ventilation to avoid the occurrence of FI. Given the limited sample size, further research is warranted to confirm the conclusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cue-based feeding aims at matching introduction of per oral (PO) feeding with physiological readiness of preterm infants to facilitate PO intake and avoid oral aversion. It was claimed that cue-based feeding may lead to delay in the initiation or achieving full PO feeding in clinical setting primarily using bubble nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The study aimed to examine the association of cue-based feeding with time of introduction and completing oral feeding in infants primarily managed with bubble CPAP. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis where outcomes of preterm infants ≤32 weeks' gestational age (GA) and ≤2,000 g birth weight (BW) were compared after a practice change from volume-based feeding advancement to cue-based feeding. Continuous variables were compared by using t-test and multilinear regression analysis to control for confounding variables. RESULTS Of the 311 preterm infants who met inclusion and exclusion criteria, 194 were in the cue-based feeding group and 117 were in the volume-based advancement historical comparison group. There were no differences between groups regarding demographic or clinical variables. Postmenstrual age (PMA) of initial feeding assessment was less in the cue-based feeding group. Age of first PO feeding and when some PO was achieved every feed was mildly delayed in the cue-based feeding compared with comparison group, 34 (±1.3) versus 33.7 (±1.2) weeks, and 36.2 (±2.3) versus 36.0 (±2.4) weeks, (p < 0.01) respectively. However, the age of achieving full PO did not differ between groups, 36.8 (±2.2) versus 36.4 (±2.4) weeks (p = 0.13). There was no difference between groups regarding growth parameters at 36 weeks' PMA or at discharge. Similar results were obtained when examining subcategories of infants ≤1,000 g and 1,001 to 2,000 g. CONCLUSION Cue-based feeding may not be associated with a delay in achieving full oral feeding or prolongation of the length of stay in preterm infants managed with CPAP. KEY POINTS · Cue-based feeding matches introduction of PO feeding with physiological readiness.. · Cue-based feeding may not be associated with a delay in achieving full oral feeding in preterm infants.. · Cue-based feeding is not associated with prolongation of the length of stay in preterm infants.. · Cue based feeding in preterm infants managed with noninvasive bubble CPAP is examined..

Impact of High Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy on Oral Feeding in Very Low Birth Weight Infants with Chronic Lung Disease. J UOEH 2019; 41:131-138.

Abstract
Previous studies on high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs) focused on comparing HFNC with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) to determine the usefulness of HFNC as a backup in the case of extubation failure and nasal trauma; however, the studies did not consider oral feeding. This retrospective case-control study aimed at elucidating whether HFNC could prevent the delay in feeding and achievement of full oral feeding in VLBWIs with chronic lung disease (CLD). Forty five VLBWIs were enrolled in this study: an HFNC group (n = 11) that was supported by HFNC at oral feeding initiation, and a non-HFNC group (n = 34) that could start oral feeding without HFNC. The gestational age and birth weight of the HFNC group were lower than those in the non-HFNC group. The median duration of exposure to oxygen and neonatal intensive care unit stay were comparable in both groups. The timings of oral feeding initiation and full oral feeding achievement in both groups were not significantly different: 35.3 (33.0 - 38.1) vs. 35.5 (33.7 - 42.4) weeks (P = 0.91) for the HFNC and 38.6 (34.4 - 42.3) vs. 36.7 (34.6 - 44.4) weeks postmenstrual age (P = 0.29) for the non-HFNC. Clinically significant aspiration pneumonia during the period of oral feeding was not observed in the HFNC group. Respiratory support by HFNC in VLBWIs with CLD might prevent oral feeding delay. Initiation of oral feeding of VLBWIs on HFNC might be safe and might accelerate the achievement of oral feeding milestones.

Abstract
Background Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and feeding intolerance are common conditions in preterm infants and among the major causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity. For many years, preterm infants with RDS have been treated with mechanical ventilation, increasing risks of acute lung injury and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. In recent years non-invasive ventilation techniques have been developed. Showing similar efficacy and risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) have become the most widespread techniques in neonatal intensive care units. However, their impact on nutrition, particularly on feeding tolerance and risk of complications, is still unknown in preterm infants. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of NCPAP vs HHHFNC on enteral feeding and to identify the most suitable technique for preterm infants with RDS. Methods A multicenter randomized single-blind controlled trial was designed. All preterm infants with a gestational age of 25–29 weeks treated with NCPAP or HHHFNC for RDS and demonstrating stability for at least 48 h along with the compliance with inclusion criteria (age less than 7 days, need for non-invasive respiratory support, suitability to start enteral feeding) will be enrolled in the study and randomized to the NCPAP or HHHFNC arm. All patients will be monitored until discharge, and data will be analyzed according to an intention-to-treat model. The primary outcome is the time to reach full enteral feeding, while parameters of respiratory support, feeding tolerance, and overall health status will be evaluated as secondary outcomes. The sample size was calculated at 141 patients per arm. Discussion The identification of the most suitable technique (NCPAP vs HHHFNC) for preterm infants with feeding intolerance could reduce gastrointestinal complications, improve growth, and reduce hospital length of stay, thus improving clinical outcomes and reducing health costs. The evaluation of the timing of oral feeding could be useful in understanding the influence that these techniques could have on the development of sucking-swallow coordination. Moreover, the evaluation of the response to NCPAP and HHHFNC could clarify their efficacy as a treatment for RDS in extremely preterm infants. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03548324.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The timely establishment of enteral feeds and a reduction in the number of feeding interruptions are key to achieving optimal nutrition in premature infants. Nutritional guidelines vary widely regarding feeding regimens and there is not a widely accepted consensus on the optimal feeding interval. PURPOSE To critically examine the evidence to determine whether there is a relationship to feeding intervals and feeding outcomes in premature infants. METHODS A systematic review of the literature in the following databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase and the Cochrane Library. The search strategy used the terms infant premature, low birth weight, enteral feeding, feed tolerance and feed intervals. RESULTS Search results yielded 10 studies involving 1269 infants (birth weight ≤1750 g). No significant differences in feed intolerance, growth, or incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis were observed. Evidence suggests that infants fed at 2 hourly intervals reached full feeds faster than at 3 hourly intervals, had fewer days on parenteral nutrition, and fewer days in which feedings were withheld. Decrease in the volume of gastric residuals and feeding interruptions were observed in the infants fed at 3 hourly intervals than those who were continuously fed. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Reducing the feed interval from 3 to 2 hourly increases nurse workload, yet may improve feeding outcomes by reducing the time to achieve full enteral feeding. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH Studies varied greatly in the definition and management of feeding intolerance and in how outcomes were measured, analyzed, and reported. The term "intermittent" is used widely but can refer to a 2 or 3 hourly interval.

Abstract
AIM To observe whether early minimal breastfeeding combined with assisted intervention improves feeding intolerance in low-birth-weight preterm infants.
METHODS Eighty-four low-birth-weight premature infants hospitalized at our hospital from October 2015 to July 2017 were randomly and equally divided into a control group and an observation group. Both groups were given intravenous nutrition treatment and routine care, and the observation group was additionally given early minimal breastfeeding combined with assisted intervention. The improvement of feeding intolerance, evaluated by times to disappearance of abdominal distension, vomiting and gastric retention, and feeding-related situations, such as times to full enteral nutrition and recovery of birth weight and length of hospital stay, were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS After intervention, the amount of feeding, weight gain, and sleep time in the observation group were 6.4 d ± 0.8 d, 426.5 d ± 28.2 d, and 22.3 d ± 0.8 d, respectively, all of which were significantly better than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The times to total enteral nutrition and recovery of birth weight and length of hospitalization were 11.2 d ± 5.1 d, 7.3 d ± 3.2 d, and 52.5 d ± 4.3 d, respectively, all of which were significantly earlier than those of the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Early minimal breastfeeding combined with assisted intervention can improve gastrointestinal function and feeding intolerance in low-birth-weight premature infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluate the practice of providing enteral nutrition in critically ill children requiring noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING PICU within a quaternary care children's hospital. PATIENTS PICU patients older than 30 days requiring noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for greater than or equal to 24 hours from August 2014 to June 2015. Invasive mechanical ventilation prior to noninvasive positive pressure ventilation and inability to receive enteral nutrition at baseline were additional exclusionary criteria. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was enteral nutrition initiation within 24 hours of admission. Secondary outcomes included time to goal enteral nutrition rate, adequacy of nutrition, adverse events (pneumonia not present at admission, intubation after enteral nutrition initiation, feeding tube misplacement), and lengths of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation and PICU stay. Among those included (n = 562), the median age was 2 years (interquartile range, 39 d to 6.8 yr), 54% had at least one chronic condition, and 43% had malnutrition at baseline. The most common primary diagnosis was bronchiolitis/viral pneumonia. The median length of time on noninvasive positive pressure ventilation was 2 days (interquartile range, 2.0-4.0). Most (83%) required continuous positive airway pressure or bi-level support during their PICU course. Sixty-four percent started enteral nutrition within 24 hours, with 72% achieving goal enteral nutrition rate within 72 hours. Forty-nine percent and 44% received an adequate cumulative calorie and protein intake, respectively, during their PICU admission. Oral feeding was the most common delivery method. On multivariable analysis, use of bi-level noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (odds ratio, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.25-0.63) and continuous dexmedetomidine (odds ratio, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.35-0.97) were independently associated with decreased likelihood of early enteral nutrition. Twelve percent of patients had at least one adverse event. CONCLUSIONS A majority of patients requiring noninvasive positive pressure ventilation received enteral nutrition within 24 hours. However, less than half achieved caloric and protein goals during their PICU admission. Further investigation is warranted to determine the safety and effectiveness of early enteral nutrition in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES No guidelines are available regarding initiation of enteral nutrition in children with bronchiolitis on high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) support. We hypothesized that the incidence of feeding-related adverse events (AEs) would not be associated with HFNC support. METHODS This retrospective study included children ≤24 months old with bronchiolitis receiving HFNC in a PICU from September 2013 through April 2014. Data included demographics, respiratory support during feeding, and feeding-related AEs. Feeding-related AEs were extracted from nursing documentation and defined as respiratory distress or emesis. Feed route and maximum HFNC delivery were recorded in 8-hour shifts (6 am-2 pm, 2 pm-10 pm, and 10 pm-6 am). RESULTS 70 children were included, with a median age of 5 (interquartile range [IQR] 2-10) months. HFNC delivery at feed initiation varied widely, and AEs related to feeding occurred rarely. Children were fed in 501 of 794 (63%) of nursing shifts, with AEs documented in only 29 of 501 (5.8%) of those shifts. The incidence of AEs at varying levels of respiratory support did not differ (P = .092). Children in the "early feeding" (fed within first 2 shifts) group (n = 22) had a shorter PICU length of stay (2.2 days [IQR 1.4-3.9] vs 3.2 [IQR 2.5-5.3], P = .006) and shorter duration of HFNC use (26.0 hours [IQR 15.8-57.0] vs 53.5 [IQR 37.0-84.8], P = .002), compared with children in the "late feeding" group (n = 48). CONCLUSIONS In this small, single-institution patient cohort, feeding-related AEs were rare and not related to the delivered level of respiratory support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Delayed enteral nutrition, defined as enteral nutrition started 48 hours or more after admission to the PICU, is associated with an inability to achieve full enteral nutrition and worse outcomes in critically ill children. We reviewed nutritional practices in six medical-surgical PICUs and determined risk factors associated with delayed enteral nutrition in critically ill children. DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional study using medical records as source of data. SETTING Six medical-surgical PICUs in northeastern United States. PATIENTS Children less than 21 years old admitted to the PICU for 72 hours or more excluding those awaiting or recovering from abdominal surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 444 children with a median age of 4.0 years were included in the study. Enteral nutrition was started at a median time of 20 hours after admission to the PICU. There was no significant difference in time to start enteral nutrition among the PICUs. Of those included, 88 children (19.8%) had delayed enteral nutrition. Risk factors associated with delayed enteral nutrition were noninvasive (odds ratio, 3.37; 95% CI, 1.69-6.72) and invasive positive-pressure ventilation (odds ratio, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.15-3.69), severity of illness (odds ratio for every 0.1 increase in pediatric index of mortality 2 score, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.14-1.71), procedures (odds ratio, 3.33; 95% CI, 1.67-6.64), and gastrointestinal disturbances (odds ratio, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.14-3.68) within 48 hours after admission to the PICU. Delayed enteral nutrition was associated with failure to reach full enteral nutrition while in the PICU (odds ratio, 4.09; 95% CI, 1.97-8.53). Nutrition consults were obtained in less than half of the cases, and none of the PICUs used tools to assure the adequacy of energy and protein nutrition. CONCLUSIONS Institutions in this study initiated enteral nutrition for a high percentage of patients by 48 hours of admission. Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation was most strongly associated with delay enteral nutrition. A better understanding of these risk factors and assessments of nutritional requirements should be explored in future prospective studies.
