Background: Infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) experience a high incidence of growth failure in the postoperative period following stage I palliation. Because of an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in this population, clinicians may be reluctant to initiate early enteral feedings. Published guidelines for initiating and advancing enteral feedings in this population are limited.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Gina Hardiman"

  • - Gina Hardiman's research primarily focuses on the nutritional management of infants with congenital heart conditions, particularly hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), and the challenges associated with postoperative care.
  • - In her notable 2009 study, she developed an enteral feeding algorithm aimed at addressing the growth failure commonly experienced by infants post-stage I palliation, while also considering the risks associated with early enteral feedings in this vulnerable population.
  • - The findings highlight the need for evidence-based guidelines to support clinicians in initiating and advancing enteral feedings, ultimately improving health outcomes for infants with HLHS.
