Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral feeding by a transpyloric tube in critically ill infants is indicated when there is a failure in gastric feeding. However, there is a wide variability regarding the insertion technique. PURPOSE To perform a systematic review of the methods for inserting a transpyloric feeding tube in newborns and infants. DATA SOURCES Nine databases, without date or language restrictions, accessed in September 2021. STUDY SELECTION A systematic review of experimental and nonexperimental studies, according to the "Patient/problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome" strategy and the "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses" guidelines. The clinical question was about the measurement and insertion techniques, as well as the success rates of properly placing a transpyloric tube in newborns and infants. DATA EXTRACTION Two authors (N.M.Q. and J.F.S.) analyzed 6 observational descriptive prospective studies, all of them published in peer-reviewed indexed medical journals and one in the official journal of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses. RESULTS The success rate varied between 70% and 100%. There was an important variability in the type of tube, measurement method, and insertion techniques. It was found that the most common strategies to achieve proper positioning were glabella-calcaneal measurements, gastric air insufflation, and right lateral decubitus. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE A transpyloric catheter insertion protocol needs to be established in each neonatal unit, according to the literature findings. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH Randomized controlled studies that evaluate the gastric air insufflation technique and other adjuvant measures could elucidate the knowledge gap concerning the correct positioning of transpyloric tubing in newborns and infants.

Abstract
Feed intolerance (FI) is significantly associated with poor prognosis in critically ill patients. This study aimed to understand the characteristics of children with FI and identify the factors predicting FI in critically ill children. This retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 2017 and June 2022 in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of a specialized children's hospital. Eighteen factors, including age, body mass index for age z-score (BAZ) < -2, paediatric index of mortality (PIM)3 score, Glasgow coma scale score, mechanical ventilation (MV), enteral nutrition delay, vasoactive drugs, sedatives, sepsis, heart disease, neurological disease, hypokalemia, arterial PH < 7.35, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), blood glucose, hemoglobin, total protein, and albumin, were retrieved to predict FI. The outcome was FI during PICU stay. During the study period, a total of 854 children were included, of which 215 children developed FI. Six predictors of FI were selected: PIM3 score, MV, sepsis, hypokalemia, albumin, and PaO2. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher PIM3 score, MV, sepsis, hypokalemia, and lower PaO2 were independent risk factors for FI, whereas higher albumin was an independent protective factor for FI. The C-index of the predictive nomogram of 0.943 was confirmed at internal validation to be 0.940, indicating a good predictive value of the model. Decision curve analysis shows good clinical applicability of the nomogram in predicting FI. Conclusion: The nomogram was verified to have a good prediction performance based on discrimination, calibration, and clinical decision analysis. What is Known: • Research has demonstrated that gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction is not only a fundamental element of Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), but also the initiator of MODS. • Previous study has demonstrated a significant association between FI and poor prognosis in critically ill patients. What is New: • We excluded patients with primary gastrointestinal tract disease from our study, and we observed an incidence of FI of 25.2% in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). • Our study revealed that PIM3 score, MV, sepsis, hypokalemia, albumin, and PaO2 are significant predictors of FI.

Abstract
Malnutrition affects 50% of hospitalized children and 25-70% of the critically ill children. It increases the incidence of complications and mortality. Malnutrition is associated with an altered metabolism of certain substrates, increased metabolism and catabolism depending on the severity of the lesion, and reduced nutrient delivery. The objective should be to administer individualized nutrition to the critically ill child and to be able to adjust the nutrition continuously according to the metabolic changes and evolving nutritional status. It would appear reasonable to start enteral nutrition within the first 24 to 48 hours after admission, when oral feeding is not possible. Parenteral nutrition should only be used when enteral nutrition is contraindicated or is not tolerated. Energy delivery must be individually adjusted to energy expenditure (40-65 kcal/100 calories metabolized/day) with a protein delivery of 2.5-3 g/kg/day. Frequent monitoring of nutritional and metabolic parameters should be performed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The objective of this review has been to analyse and compare the causes, incidence, severity and treatment of gastrointestinal complications in critically ill children and adults. RECENT FINDINGS The incidence of gastrointestinal complications in critically ill patients published in the literature is very variable owing to the absence of unified diagnostic criteria both in children and adults. The incidence of gastrointestinal complications related to nutrition appears to be lower in children than in adults, and there are no differences in the incidence of gastrointestinal complications between gastric and transpyloric nutrition except with respect to the volume of gastric residues. The most important risk factors for digestive tract complications are shock and the administration of drugs (catecholamines, sedatives and muscle relaxants). Altered gastrointestinal motility is the principal mechanism underlying an excessive gastric residue, abdominal distension and constipation. SUMMARY Gastrointestinal complications limit the efficacy of enteral nutrition in the critically ill patient and can affect morbidity and mortality. Consensus must be reached on the definition of the criteria of excessive gastric residues, constipation and diarrhoea, and studies must be performed that evaluate the efficacy of prokinetic agents on altered gastrointestinal motility and the effects of diet and laxatives on constipation in the critically ill adult and child.

Abstract
Background Tolerance to enteral nutrition in the critically ill child with shock has not been studied. The purpose of the study was to analyze the characteristics of enteral nutrition and its tolerance in the critically ill child with shock and to compare this with non-shocked patients. Methods A prospective, observational study was performed including critically ill children with shock who received postpyloric enteral nutrition (PEN). The type of nutrition used, its duration, tolerance, and gastrointestinal complications were assessed. The 65 children with shock who received PEN were compared with 461 non-shocked critically ill children who received PEN. Results Sixty-five critically ill children with shock, aged between 21 days and 22 years, received PEN. 75.4% of patients with shock received PEN exclusively. The mean duration of the PEN was 25.2 days and the maximum calorie intake was 79.4 kcal/kg/day. Twenty patients with shock (30.7%) presented gastrointestinal complications, 10 (15.4%) abdominal distension and/or excessive gastric residue, 13 (20%) diarrhoea, 1 necrotising enterocolitis, and 1 duodenal perforation due to the postpyloric tube. The frequency of gastrointestinal complications was significantly higher than in the other 461 critically ill children (9.1%). PEN was suspended due to gastrointestinal complications in 6 patients with shock (9.2%). There were 18 deaths among the patients with shock and PEN (27.7%). In only one patient was the death related to complications of the nutrition. Conclusion Although most critically ill children with shock can tolerate postpyloric enteral nutrition, the incidence of gastrointestinal complications is higher in this group of patients than in other critically ill children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the risk factors for gastrointestinal complications related to enteral nutrition in critically ill children. DESIGN A prospective, observational study. SETTING Pediatric intensive care unit. SUBJECTS Five hundred and twenty-six critically ill children who received transpyloric enteral nutrition(TEN). METHODS Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify risk factors for gastrointestinal complications. RESULTS Sixty six patients (11.5%) presented gastrointestinal complications, 33 (6.2%) abdominal distension and/or excessive gastric residue, 34 (6.4%) diarrhea, one gastrointestinal bleeding, three necrotizing enterocolitis and one duodenal perforation. Enteral nutrition was definitively suspended because of gastrointestinal complications in 11 (2.1%) patients. Fifty patients (9.5%) died. Gastrointestinal complications were more frequent in the patients who died. Death was related to complications of the nutrition in only one patient. The frequency of gastrointestinal complications was significantly higher in children with shock, acute renal failure, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia and in those receiving dopamine, epinephrine and vecuronium. The stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the most important factors associated with gastrointestinal complications were shock, epinephrine at a rate higher than 0.3 microg/kg/min and hypophosphatemia. CONCLUSIONS The tolerance of TEN in critically ill children is good, although the incidence of gastrointestinal complications is higher in patients with shock, acute renal failure, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, and those receiving epinephrine, dopamine, and vecuronium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy and tolerance of transpyloric enteral nutrition (TEN) in the critically ill child with acute renal failure (ARF). DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Paediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS Critically ill children with ARF who received TEN were included in the study. They were compared with the remaining 473 critically ill children receiving TEN in this period. Tolerance of nutrition and gastrointestinal complications were assessed. INTERVENTION Transpyloric enteral nutrition. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Fifty-three critically ill children with ARF aged between 3 days and 17 years received TEN. Children with ARF more frequently received parenteral nutrition before TEN (56.6%) than the other patients (17.5%). The incidence of shock, hepatic alterations and mortality was significantly higher in patients with ARF than in the remaining children. In children with ARF the mean duration of the TEN was 16.5-27.3 days and the maximum caloric intake was 77-26.7 kcal/kg/day. Thirteen patients (24.5%) presented gastrointestinal complications, 9 (17%) abdominal distension and/or excessive gastric residue, 5 (9.4%) diarrhoea, 1 necrotising enterocolitis and 1 duodenal perforation. The frequency of gastrointestinal complications was significantly higher in children with ARF. TEN was definitive suspended in five patients due to gastrointestinal complications. Four of these patients were treated with continuous renal replacement therapy. Thirty percent of patients died during TEN. In only one patient was the death related to complications of the nutrition. CONCLUSIONS Critically ill children with ARF tolerate TEN, although the incidence of gastrointestinal complications is higher than in other critically ill children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study tolerance to transpyloric enteral nutrition (TEN) and the incidence of secondary complications in critically-ill children. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a prospective, observational study between 1994 and 2002 of all critically-ill children admitted to our pediatric intensive care unit who received TEN. Tolerance and complications were analyzed. RESULTS Of 286 patients aged between 3 days and 17 years who received TEN, gastrointestinal complications occurred in 13.6 %, abdominal distention and/or excessive gastric residue in 8 % and diarrhea in 6.3 %. Diarrhea was associated with shock (p 0.01), abdominal distension and/ or excessive gastric residue (p 0.008), hypophosphatemia (p 0.001), and duration of TEN (p < 0.001). TEN was discontinued in 2.1 % of the patients because of gastrointestinal complications. Thirty-two patients (11.2 %) died during TEN. No relationship was found between the characteristics of nutrition and complications and mortality. CONCLUSIONS TEN is a well tolerated method of nutrition in critically-ill children that produces few complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the utility and efficacy of transpyloric enteral nutrition (TEN) in critically-ill children by analyzing the factors that determine enteral tolerance. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a prospective, observational study between 1994 and 2002 of all critically-ill children admitted to our pediatric intensive care unit who received TEN. The indications for enteral nutrition, type of nutrition and its duration were studied. RESULTS A total of 286 patients (8.4 % of patients admitted to the PICU in the study period), aged between 3 days and 17 years received TEN. Fifty-five children (19.2 %) were aged less than 1 month and 165 (27.7 %) were aged less than 6 months. Seventy percent received TEN exclusively. The most frequent indication for TEN was mechanical ventilation in 255 children (89.2 %). One hundred seventy-six patients (61.5 %) received TEN in the postoperative period after cardiac surgery. The mean duration of TEN was 15.4 25 days, the maximum volume of nutrition was 118.7 41 ml/kg/day, and the maximum caloric intake was 88.6 26.7 kcal/kg/day. During TEN, 227 patients received sedation (79.3 %), and 124 were administered muscle relaxants (43.3 %), with no increase in complications. CONCLUSIONS TEN is a useful method of nutrition in critically-ill children.
