Pediatrics II GI Diseases of the Newborn – Intro Dra. Alabastro shar, maqui, viki 2nd Shifting/September 8, 2008 PHYSIOLOGY OF SWALLOWING

• •



Swallowing movement in fetus as early as the 12th week

Gestational or postnatal age

2.

Clinical status

3.

Extrauterine adaptation

Coordination of swallowing, epiglottal and uvular closure of the larynx and nasal passages and normal esophageal motility attained after 34 weeks AOG



Digestive enzymes mature after inadequate amount of bile salts

Supplementary parenteral fluids for small premature infants during the first 24-72 hours



Partial or total parenteral nutrition for the very sick or the very small infants

28

weeks

AOG;



Gastric capacity of newborn is 10-20mL



No excretion by way of GIT unless the anal sphincter relaxes (relaxes only when there is oxygen deprivation)



Fluid requirements vary according to gestational age



1st stools passed within 24 hours; 1-6 stools per day for premature

CRITERIA FOR INITIATING NORMAL INFANT FEEDING • Normal bowel sounds, soft abdomen •

1.

BABIES AT RISK FOR DEVELOPING FEEDING PROBLEMS • Preterm: <32-34 weeks AOG •

Very low birth weight (VLBW) regardless of gestational age: <1500g



Depressed/asphyxiated infants



Infants with respiratory distress



GI anomalies



METHODS OF FEEDING Breastfeeding (PO)

Should have passed meconium



Infant should be stable (HR, CR)



Absence of abdominal distension or peritonitis



No billous aspirates or emesis



-

Attempted only in infants 34 weeks AOG or older

-

Sucking and gagging attempting first feeding

Serum electrolytes normal

-

First PO feeding 10-15cc consists of breast milk



At least 6 hours after extubation

-

Breastfeeding started if tolerated



Respiratory rate < 60/min



Umbilical catheters – remove 24 hours before feeding







CONSIDERATIONS IN FEEDING THE NEWBORN Nutritional care of all newborns demand that calories be provided either enterally or IV to meet metabolic demands in the first 6-12 hours 1.

Provide adequate nutrition

2.

Supply energy

3.

Stimulate maturation of gut

4.

Provide weight gain

Method of feeding is individualized



reflexes

checked

before

Intermittent orogastric (IOG)/nasogastric (ING) -

Used for infants on ventilation or acutely distending stomach

-

Begin with 3cc/kg every 2 hours; increase by 12cc/kg every other feeding until desired volume is reached

-

Allowable gastric residuals 50% of feeding volume

-

Change to every 3 hours when further volume is desired

Continuous orogastric (COG)/nasogastric (CNG) -

Started at 1cc/kg/h

-

Increased by 1-2cc every 4-24 as infant tolerates

-

Gastric residuals checked every 2-4 hours not to exceed 5 mL of volume infused

Continuous nasojejunal (CNJ)/orojejunal (COJ) -

Used in very low birth weight infants with poor gastric motility or gastroesophageal reflux or reserved for infants unable to feed by other methods

-

Main difficulty is placement of tube in small intestine

-

Complications are rare: perforation of the small intestine

CONSIDERATION IN ASSESSING FLUID REQUIREMENTS • Insensible water loss •

Urine/fecal loss



Caloric expenditure



Use of modality of procedure: phototherapy, drainage, radiant warmer, higher ambient temperatures, higher environmental humidity, ventilators with highly humidified air, plastic heat shields



SUPPLEMENTARY IVF Start with 10% dextrose in water if enteral feeding is < 150 mL/kg/day



Slowly decrease IVF as enteric feeding is increased



Discontinue IVF once enteric feeding is equal to at least 100 mL/kg/day



If unable to feed by the 3rd day, start parenteral alimentation



MONITORING FEEDING Growth: weigh daily, monitor and record length and head circumference daily



Tolerance: -

No blood in stools

-

No significant residuals

-

No vomiting or regurgitation

-

No apneic episodes with feeding

-

No abdominal distension
