Intestinal Rehabilitation Episode 8: Refeeding of an Older Patient
Older children (8-16 years) who experience volvulus can lose 90+% of their bowel
clinicalMichael Helmrath1:11 ↗
Older patients who have established eating behavior before bowel loss have both a benefit and curse in that they know how to eat
opinionPaul Wales1:24 ↗
In older children, normal feeding behavior is important for social aspects of life beyond nutrition
clinicalCecilia Gigena1:30 ↗
Even if a patient cannot be cured and weaned off TPN, compromises should be made to optimize quality of life
opinionPaul Wales1:50 ↗
The general strategy is to push macronutrient modules of protein and fat which are well tolerated
clinicalPaul Wales2:14 ↗
Most short bowel patients don't tolerate simple sugars very well
clinicalPaul Wales2:21 ↗
Pushing solids and minimizing fluid intake helps reduce dumping
clinicalPaul Wales2:25 ↗
Smaller meals more frequently of solids separated from liquids and minimization of simple sugars is the recommended approach
clinicalPaul Wales2:31 ↗
Patients who have transitioned off TPN often come back with problems when diet history reveals they have gotten loose with diet choices
clinicalPaul Wales2:52 ↗
Increase in sugars can create problems with absorption and changes in stool output
clinicalCecilia Gigena3:12 ↗
Minimizing sugars reduces symptoms related to bacterial overgrowth such as bloating and gas
clinicalPaul Wales3:31 ↗
Fluid losses whether by stoma or other source must be replaced
clinicalPaul Wales3:48 ↗
If patients are on IV support, some fluid can be replaced intravenously
clinicalPaul Wales3:56 ↗
When trying to wean off IV support, keeping patients hydrated through enteral replacements is important
clinicalPaul Wales4:01 ↗
Fluid transport requires sodium and glucose, so replacement solution must contain both
clinicalPaul Wales4:11 ↗
Gatorade doesn't work well for rehydration because it has too much sugar
clinicalPaul Wales4:48 ↗
Some patients can come off TPN but still need a central line for IV fluids
clinicalMichael Helmrath4:55 ↗
Without adequate IV fluids, patients end up sleeping most of the day and don't have energy
clinicalMichael Helmrath4:55 ↗
Being in a hydrated state is extremely important to making the bowel work well
clinicalMichael Helmrath5:08 ↗
Sometimes patients can't drink rehydration solution but the GI tract can use it via G-tube
clinicalMichael Helmrath5:31 ↗
Energy use goes up dramatically during puberty
clinicalMichael Helmrath5:51 ↗
Children doing well often hit the wall when they start puberty because energy needs overcome nutrient input
clinicalMichael Helmrath5:51 ↗
Some kids end up back on parenteral support to get through puberty
clinicalPaul Wales6:28 ↗
When not growing anymore as an adult, borderline or marginal gut function is often enough to sustain them
clinicalPaul Wales6:33 ↗
There are very few conditions with intestinal failure that have restricted growth
clinicalMichael Helmrath6:57 ↗
A 3rd percentile growth should not be accepted for most intestinal failure patients
opinionMichael Helmrath6:57 ↗
After getting off TPN, patients often get into trouble with micronutrient deficiencies
clinicalPaul Wales7:22 ↗
Weight must be balanced with height as a growth metric
clinicalPaul Wales8:51 ↗
This population commonly shows round babies where weight for height is elevated
clinicalPaul Wales8:57 ↗
There is increasing data looking at quality of weight - how much is fat weight versus lean body mass
clinicalPaul Wales9:01 ↗
