Feeding Advancement and Simultaneous Transition to Discharge (FASTDischarge) after laparoscopic gastrostomy
Topic overview
Retrospective study of 122 pediatric patients demonstrates that early feeding initiation (median 2.8 hours) after laparoscopic gastrostomy is safe and effective, with 97% reaching goal nutrition within 24 hours. The FAST-Discharge protocol achieves median hospital stay of 26 hours without feed-related complications in patients with prior nasogastric tolerance.
