Abstract
Use of parenteral nutrition (PN) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) requires evaluating the need for central venous catheters, potential drug incompatibilities, unintentional exposures, and suboptimal energy and nutrient intake during the transition to full enteral nutrition. Risks of photooxidation reactions in PN components, refeeding syndrome, and excess early amino acid intake should prompt the reevaluation of routine practices. The goal of this paper is to review the practicalities, challenges, and conundrums of administering PN in the NICU.

Front Pediatr 2022; 10:900068. [PMID: 35989991 PMCID: PMC9381878 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.900068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parenteral Nutrition (PN) can lead to intestinal failure associated liver disease (IFALD). There are no human studies to date studying specifically the benefits of light-protection on neonatal IFALD. Recently, the European Medicines Agency and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) both recommended full light protection of PN to reduce the risk of adverse clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of light-protecting PN on the incidence of cholestasis and peak direct bilirubin levels in premature infants. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review of preterm infants requiring PN for a minimum of 2 weeks with or without light-protection. After light protection of the PN solution, primary outcomes (including cholestasis and direct bilirubin levels) of both groups were compared. Secondary outcomes include evaluation of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), sepsis and mortality. RESULTS A total of 50 preterm infants <37 weeks gestation were included, 25 infants in each group. There was a statistically significant decrease in the rate of cholestasis (12 vs. 3, p = 0.005), median peak direct bilirubin levels (1.7 vs. 0.9 mg/dL, p = 0.02) and total bilirubin levels (4.1 vs. 3.4, p = 0.05) in the light-protection group compared to no light-protection group. There was a decrease in the incidence of severe BPD (with an increase of mild BPD, resulting in the same overall BPD rate) in the light-protection compared to no light-protection group (7 vs. 15, p = 0.0223). There was no difference in NEC, ROP, sepsis or mortality. CONCLUSION Our study supports that the practice of light-protecting PN may reduce the incidence of IFALD in premature infants. Moreover, there was a trend toward decreased incidence of severe BPD in the light-protection group. Further light protection studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Lipid injectable emulsions (ILEs) are complex pharmaceutical formulations intended as a source of energy and fatty acids for parenteral nutrition (PN) therapy. Part 1 of this series addressed issues associated with and safety recommendations pertaining to adult ILE use. Part 2 addresses ILE safety in neonatal and pediatric patients. Considerations for ILE use in the neonatal and pediatric populations differ from those of adults. For example, these patients often require higher doses compared with adult counterparts to support growth, development, and daily metabolic needs. ILE is also frequently administered as a separate infusion as opposed to in a total nutrient admixture owing to compatibility and stability issues and limitations to intravenous access in the neonatal and pediatric populations. ILE is the most frequent PN ingredient associated with PN errors occurring in the administration, prescribing, and transcribing processes. Concerns exist with use of in-line filters and repackaging of commercial products for infusion. ILE use in neonatal and pediatric patients has been associated with both minor and major adverse effects, which most often occur with doses exceeding manufacturer recommendations. Gaps in ILE best practices for neonatal and pediatric patients predispose to errors in the PN use system. This paper describes safe-use considerations for ILE products available in the United States in neonatal and pediatric patients, including indications, prescribing, order review, preparation, administration, and monitoring. This paper has been approved by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) Board of Directors.

Abstract
Although crucial in improving health outcomes in the preterm infants, parenteral nutrition (PN) is not without risk, especially if handled improperly. A growing body of evidence suggests that components of PN admixtures, including lipid injectable emulsions (ILEs), are susceptible to degradation, including oxidation when exposed to light (ie, photo-oxidation), resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species. Infants, especially those born preterm, are considered more susceptible to consequences of oxidative stress than children and adults. Oxidative stress is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, and intestinal failure-associated liver disease. The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) assembled a working group to provide recommendations on clinical practice surrounding photoprotection of PN.This Position Paper reviews the scientific literature on the formation of quantifiable peroxides and other degradation products when PN admixtures and ILEs are exposed to light and reports adverse clinical outcomes in premature infants exposed to PN. Recommendations for photoprotection of PN admixtures and ILEs are provided, as well as the challenges in achieving complete photoprotection with the equipment, supplies, and materials currently available in the US. ASPEN and the authors understand that the full implementation of complete photoprotection may not currently be feasible given current product availability; recommendations provided in this paper serve to represent the goal to which to strive as well as to highlight the importance of product availability to achieve these practices. This paper has been approved by the ASPEN Board of Directors.

Abstract
Neonates with preterm, gastrointestinal dysfunction and very low birth weights are often intolerant to oral feeding. In such infants, the provision of nutrients via parenteral nutrition (PN) becomes necessary for short-term survival, as well as long-term health. However, the elemental nutrients in PN can be a major source of oxidants due to interactions between nutrients, imbalances of anti- and pro-oxidants, and environmental conditions. Moreover, neonates fed PN are at greater risk of oxidative stress, not only from dietary sources, but also because of immature antioxidant defences. Various interventions can lower the oxidant load in PN, including the supplementation of PN with antioxidant vitamins, glutathione, additional arginine and additional cysteine; reduced levels of pro-oxidant nutrients such as iron; protection from light and oxygen; and proper storage temperature. This narrative review of published data provides insight to oxidant molecules generated in PN, nutrient sources of oxidants, and measures to minimize oxidant levels.

Does riboflavin depletion cause auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder in at risk neonates? Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 2020; 137:110238. [PMID: 32896351 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2020.110238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 06/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
We present a new hypothesis for the pathogenesis of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) in at risk neonates involving depletion of riboflavin. The association between neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and ANSD is well recognized, yet causation has not been proven. The risk of ANSD does not correlate clearly with severity of hyperbilirubinemia and ASND only occurs in a small proportion of hyperbilirubinemic neonates. Additional, perhaps co-dependent, factors are therefore likely to be involved in pathogenesis. The metabolism of bilirubin consumes riboflavin and levels of riboflavin are depleted further by phototherapy. The neonate may also be deficient in riboflavin secondary to maternal deficiency, and reduced intake or impaired absorption. We propose that riboflavin depletion may be a significant contributor to development of ANSD in at risk neonates. The basis of this hypothesis is the recent recognition that impairment of riboflavin metabolism caused by genetic mutations (SLC52A2 or AIMF1) also causes ANSD.

Abstract
There is strong evidence that oxidant molecules from various sources contaminate solutions of parenteral nutrition following interactions between the mixture of nutrients and some of the environmental conditions encountered in clinical practice. The continuous infusion of these organic and nonorganic peroxides provided us with a unique opportunity to study in cells, in vascular and animal models, the mechanisms involved in the deleterious reactions of oxidation in premature infants. Potential clinical impacts of peroxides infused with TPN include: a redox imbalance, vasoactive responses, thrombosis of intravenous catheters, TPN-related hepatobiliary complications, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and mortality. This is a narrative review of published data.
