Achieving Enteral Autonomy in Children with Intestinal Failure Following Inpatient Admission: A Case Series.

ABSTRACT

We describe cases of intestinal failure wherein inpatient admission was critical toward enteral autonomy. We performed a retrospective chart review of 6 children with long-term parenteral nutrition dependence who were weaned from parenteral nutrition after admission. Admissions included feeding and medication titration, interdisciplinary care, and a home parenteral nutrition team consultation.
