About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of the Implementation of an Algorithm for Enteral Nutrition Support Compared With Traditional Practice in Children With Congenital Heart Disease: Randomized Clinical Trial, Simple Blind.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the implementation of an algorithm for enteral nutrition support compared with usual standard practice in children with malnutrition status with congenital heart disease

Read the detailed description

In many developing countries, pediatric cardiac programs are not fully established, and nutrition support algorithm is lack. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the the efficacy and safety of the implementation of an algorithm for enteral nutrition support compared with usual standard practice in children with malnutrition status with congenital heart disease. The usual standard practice for feeding often interrupted by retention in the gut and then choose the parenteral nutrition support especially in the patients with unstable hemodynamic status. Actually tiny and continuous feeding would improve the gut function and reach the adequate energy supply.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • intervention groupOther

    When patients' hemodynamics was stable, start 1-2ml/kg/hr post-op 6-12 hours and increased 1-2ml/kg/hr each day if tolerating to reach the target energy supply When patients' hemodynamics wasn't stable, start post-op 6-12 hours 0.5-1ml/kg/hr and increased 0.5-1ml/kg/hr each day if tolerating to reach the target energy supply.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Malnutrition recovery

    Malnutrition was assessed as recovering from malnutrition

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Feeding intolerance

    According to the criteria established by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2003, the following symptoms are diagnosed as feeding intolerance: severe abdominal distension or discoloration; Signs of intestinal perforation; Obvious blood stool; Gastric retention ≥ 25% of the total amount after 2 to 3 feeding intervals; Bile reflux or vomiting; Severe apnea or bradycardia; Severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency; Apnea: Cessation of breathing for ≥20 seconds, or cessation of breathing accompanied by a decrease in SpO2.

    Measured: 1 year
