Abstract:
Enteral nutrition (EN) is the preferred method of clinical nutrition treatment for children.Different EN preparations and feeding methods were chosen according to the age and condition of the children.Breast milk is the best food for infants.For infants with intractable diarrhea after infection,using breast milk as enteral nutrition preparation can promote the recovery of the disease.Total enteral nutrition can be used as the preferred induction therapy for children with Crohn's disease.Individualized diets simulating the nutritional components of enteral nutrition preparations are also being studied.Early EN is not only safe for children with acute pancreatitis,but also can better reduce pain and shorten the average length of hospital stay.Gastrostomy can be considered in children with neurological impairment who need long-term EN.Early EN has been shown to reduce complications,hospital stay and improve prognosis in critically ill children.
