Objectives: In children hospitalized for bronchiolitis, enteral nutrition (EN) practices during noninvasive ventilation (NIV) vary widely. We sought to assess the potential impact of EN by observing changes in physiometric indices (heart rate [HR] and respiratory rate [RR]) before and after EN initiation.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study in children <2 years of age hospitalized for bronchiolitis receiving NIV from 2017 to 2019 in a quaternary ICU. The primary outcome was patient HR and RR before and after EN initiation. Descriptive data included demographics, anthropometrics, comorbidities, NIV parameters, EN characteristics, and general hospital outcomes. Analyses included paired comparative and descriptive statistics.
Results: Of the 124 children studied, 85 (69%) were permitted EN at a median of 12 (interquartile range [IQR]: 7 to 29) hours. The route was oral (76.5%), nasogastric (15.3%), or postpyloric (8.2%) and was predominantly started during high-flow nasal cannula (71%) at flow rates of 1 (IQR: 0.7 to 1.4) L/kg per minute. After EN initiation, reductions in the median RR (percentage change: -11 [IQR: -23 to 3]; < .01) and HR (percentage change: -5 [IQR: -12 to 1]; < .01) were noted. Those permitted EN were younger (5 [IQR: 2 to 11] vs 11 [IQR: 3 to 17] months; < .01) and more likely to have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (19% vs 5%; = .04). Malnutrition rates, comorbidities, admission timing, flow rates, length of stay, and NIV duration did not differ for those provided or not provided EN. No aspiration events were observed.
Conclusions: Reductions between pre- and postprandial RR after EN initiation among children hospitalized for bronchiolitis on NIV were observed without clinically significant aspiration. These findings support existing data that suggest that EN is safe during NIV and may lessen distress in some patients.

The impact of a tailored nutrition intervention delivered for the duration of hospitalisation on daily energy delivery for patients with critical illness (INTENT): a phase II randomised controlled trial.

Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre, School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Department of Epidemiology and Preventative Medicine, Monash University, 553 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Background: Nutrition interventions commenced in ICU and continued through to hospital discharge have not been definitively tested in critical care to date. To commence a program of research, we aimed to determine if a tailored nutrition intervention delivered for the duration of hospitalisation delivers more energy than usual care to patients initially admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Methods: A multicentre, unblinded, parallel-group, phase II trial was conducted in twenty-two hospitals in Australia and New Zealand.
Inpatient Nutritional Considerations in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

St Luke's University Hospital, Fountain Hill, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explain the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), focusing on both adults and children.
Recent Findings: Malnutrition is common among IBD patients, affecting up to 85% of individuals, and is linked to higher rates of illness, death, and longer hospital stays. Recent studies highlight the importance of early detection using tools like the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and handgrip strength tests.

Background: Many nutrition risk screening tools include low body mass index (BMI). It remains uncertain whether it affects the validity of these tools in patients with overweight or obesity. We aimed to determine the frequency of malnutrition risk and evaluate its association with hospital length of stay in hospitalized adults according to BMI classification.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a prevalent disease that poses a significant threat to global public health. Digestive dysfunction, as a common complication, is of particular importance to understand its pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and relevant treatment strategies. TBI can affect digestive function through inflammatory immune responses, the enteric nervous system, and hormonal levels.
