Abstract:

Objective To develop an enteral nutrition program for critically ill children with prone position ventilation and evaluate its application effectiveness. Methods A prone position ventilation enteral nutrition program for critically ill children was developed through Delphi expert consultation based on the previous evidence. Using a convenience sampling method,200 patients with prone position ventilation admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit(PICU) of a tertiary class A hospital in Jilin Province from December 2023 to October 2024 were enrolled. The experimental group received enteral nutrition treatment based on the prone position ventilation enteral nutrition program for critically ill children,while the control group received conventional enteral nutrition treatment in the PICU. The incidence of feeding intolerance symptoms,target caloric achievement rate for enteral nutrition,and interruption time of enteral feeding were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of feeding intolerance symptoms and feeding interruption time in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group. The target caloric achievement rate of enteral nutrition in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group. The differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). Conclusion The application of the prone position ventilation enteral nutrition program for critically can reduce the incidence of feeding intolerance symptoms,shorten feeding interruption time,and improve the feeding compliance rate in children receiving prone position ventilation.
