Intestinal Rehabilitation, Episode 1: What is intestinal rehabilitation?
Intestinal failure is defined as insufficient gut function to absorb enough nutrients, fluids, and calories to support survival and, in children, growth
clinicalPaul Wales2:05 ↗
For a patient to be defined as having intestinal failure, they must have inadequate intestinal function necessitating parenteral support for at least 60 days
guidelineRod Gerardo2:24 ↗
An intestinal rehabilitation program is a multidisciplinary collaborative patient care paradigm that brings coordinated care for children with intestinal failure through comprehensive management of their specialized nutrition and associated needs
clinicalPaul Wales3:03 ↗
Short bowel syndrome is by far the most common category of intestinal failure in pediatric patients
epidemiologicalPaul Wales4:50 ↗
Causes of short bowel syndrome include congenital anomalies such as intestinal atresia, malrotation, volvulus, gastroschisis, and long segment Hirschsprung's disease
clinicalPaul Wales5:06 ↗
Acquired diseases of the newborn such as necrotizing enterocolitis can cause short bowel syndrome
clinicalPaul Wales5:18 ↗
Motility disorders occur when the bowel is unable to push contents through in a coordinated way due to abnormalities of the muscle itself or the nerves that control that muscle
clinicalPaul Wales5:45 ↗
Congenital enteropathies are conditions where the patient has all of their bowel but the mucosa does not work, leading to hypersecretion and profuse fluid losses
clinicalPaul Wales6:17 ↗
Some patients will have elements of two or three categories of intestinal failure in the way they present
clinicalPaul Wales7:11 ↗
A child with gastroschisis could have short bowel because it was not all viable, inflammation affecting absorption, and motility issues
clinicalEllen Encisco7:22 ↗
Older pediatric patients can develop intestinal failure from inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn's disease where they have lost gut as a result of complications
clinicalPaul Wales7:56 ↗
Trauma, malignancy, and vascular thrombosis leading to gut loss are diagnoses seen more in older patients or adult series and less in pediatrics
epidemiologicalPaul Wales8:04 ↗
There are three time points where families reach intestinal rehabilitation programs: prenatal diagnosis, postnatal acquired problems, and later presentations after discharge
clinicalMichael Helmrath8:53 ↗
Prenatal diagnoses that lead to intestinal rehabilitation typically include atresia with cystic fibrosis and gastroschisis
clinicalMichael Helmrath9:15 ↗
Postnatal acquired problems leading to intestinal rehabilitation include volvulus and necrotizing enterocolitis
clinicalEllen Encisco9:29 ↗
Dietitians play a key role in understanding the nutritional needs of children in intestinal rehabilitation
opinionMichael Helmrath11:52 ↗
Social work is a key component of the intestinal rehabilitation team
opinionMichael Helmrath12:01 ↗
The survival overall in big intestinal rehabilitation programs is usually over 90% long-term survival
epidemiologicalRod Gerardo12:34 ↗
Children with intestinal failure who survive long-term now develop chronic comorbidities including renal dysfunction, metabolic bone disease, neurocognitive issues, and quality of life issues
clinicalPaul Wales12:46 ↗
Earlier recognition and taking advantage of the biology of the gut to adapt are time dependent
clinicalMichael Helmrath2:40 ↗
Intestinal rehabilitation streamlines care and improves communication with families and between care providers and team members
opinionPaul Wales3:55 ↗
Intestinal rehabilitation comes down to key factors that drive the process: nutrition in the gut, nutrition in the body, and healing
clinicalMichael Helmrath4:07 ↗
Pattern recognition from multiple eyes on a baby who have seen them over time is important in intestinal rehabilitation
opinionMichael Helmrath4:19 ↗
Intestinal rehabilitation: What is intestinal rehab? - Episode 1
Intestinal failure is defined as insufficient gut function to absorb enough nutrients, fluids, and calories to support survival and, in children, growth
clinicalPaul Wales2:05 ↗
New guidelines define intestinal failure as requiring parental support for at least 60 days

An intestinal rehabilitation program is a multidisciplinary collaborative patient care paradigm providing coordinated care for children with intestinal failure through comprehensive management of specialized nutrition and associated needs

clinicalPaul Wales5:06 ↗
Acquired diseases of the newborn such as necrotizing enterocolitis cause short bowel syndrome
clinicalPaul Wales5:18 ↗
Motility disorders occur when abnormalities of the intestinal muscle itself or the nerves that control that muscle prevent coordinated movement of food and stool
clinicalPaul Wales5:45 ↗
