ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Enteral feeding pumps at times may deliver different volumes than are prescribed, which can negatively impact growth, nutrition, and well-being. This study sought to assess whether challenges with pump accuracy for patients on food-based formulas contributed to challenges with weight gain. METHODS: Chart review identified complex feeding patients receiving food-based enteral nutrition via feeding pump with unexpected weight loss. Relevant data, such as enteral formula type, and anthropometric information were extracted. RESULTS: Five complex pediatric feeding patients were identified and 2 of these cases were summarized as representative examples, showing weight loss in children following the introduction of enteral food-based formulas because of feeding pump inaccuracy. CONCLUSIONS: Complex pediatric feeding patients may display unexpected and poor weight gain and growth while receiving food-based enteral feeding interventions because of pump errors. It is vital for providers to be aware of these challenges for timely intervention.
