[Clinical guidelines for the managment of intestinal failure secondary to pediatric short bowel syndrome].

Intestinal failure secondary to short bowel syndrome in pediatrics, is a rare condition with high morbimortality. A follow up multidisciplinary team is necessary to minimize complications and optimize the intestinal rehabilitation. There are no gold standard guidelines for the management of this group of complex patients.

[Home parenteral nutrition (HPN): feasibility of its implementation from a public hospital].

Introduction: The intensive care of patients at home had probed important beneficialness for the patient and the Health System. There are very few experiences of this kind of care from the Public Hospitals.

Objective: To develop a social-sanitary analysis of the feasibility of the implementation of HPN on patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) from a Public Hospital.

[Outcome and survival of pediatric Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS)].

Introduction: SBS is the main cause of intestinal failure (IF) in children and has a high morbility and mortality.

Objectives: to analyze factors associated with the outcome and survival of SBS children.

Methods: analytical, descriptive and retrospective study.

[Growth assessment of children with neonatal short bowel syndrome (SBS)].

Introduction: SBS is a complex entity with high morbimortality. Survival following extent intestinal resection during the neonatal period is higher than 90%. Nutritional support is paramount during the periods of high growth.
