Nutritional Management of Infants With A Giant Ruptured Omphalocele: Clinical Observations From A Single Institution Case Series.
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 2022 October 28
The nutritional requirements of neonates with congenital abdominal wall defects (AWD) remain poorly described. In particular, there is a lack of literature on the calorie, protein and micronutrient needs of those with AWD. Nutritional therapy is a cornerstone of care in patients with burns due to the metabolic consequences of injury to the epithelial layer. Similarly, children with AWD may require specialized nutritional plans to support their growth and wound healing. This case series supports the theory that patients with ruptured omphaloceles may require higher calorie, protein, and micronutrient provisions in comparison to patients with intact omphaloceles, due to increased metabolic demand to support wound healing and skin epithelization.
