On April 13, the 15th Healthy China Forum on Children's Medical Nutrition, sponsored by the People's Daily Health Client and supported by Nestlé Health Science (China) Co., Ltd., was successfully held in Beijing. For pediatric tube feeding nutrition nursing, the forum has set up special sub-venues, bringing together many experts, scholars and practitioners in pediatric clinical nutrition and nursing at home and abroad to conduct in-depth exchanges on the development status and challenges in the field of pediatric tube feeding nutrition nursing, the exploration of child tube feeding nutrition management models, as well as the cutting-edge views, leading clinical application experience and advanced knowledge and skills of tube feeding nutrition nursing at home and abroad, so as to cope with the current difficulties in the work of pediatric tube feeding nutrition nursing in China and promote the scientific research and practice innovation of tube feeding nutrition nursing.
Gu Ying, Chairman of the Panel Meeting and Director of the Nursing Department of the Children's Hospital of Fudan University, said: "Enteral nutrition plays a huge role in the treatment of children, and the efficient implementation and application of enteral nutrition support programs are directly related to the clinical outcomes of patients. It is expected that through the exchange of professional medical workers at home and abroad, we will share the latest concepts, experiences and leading scientific research achievements of pediatric tube feeding nursing at home and abroad, solve the difficulties in practical clinical application, provide professional experience reference, further improve the quality of care, better implement the plan, and help children recover their health. We still need to build more platforms to strengthen communication and cooperation to jointly promote the in-depth development of enteral feeding nutrition care for children. ”

In recent years, with the obvious changes in the spectrum of diseases in mainland China, the diversity and complexity of diseases have increased, and the demand for professional tube feeding nutrition in hospitals and children has also increased. Studies have shown that malnutrition is strongly associated with longer hospital stays, higher infection and mortality rates, higher hospital costs, readmission rates, and quality of life. It is the current focus to promote the standardized management of enteral nutrition and build a standardized process and multidisciplinary team for tube feeding nutrition.
Professor Hong Li, Vice President of the National Children's Medical Center and Shanghai Children's Medical Center affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and the leader of the clinical nutrition discipline, introduced that nutrition is related to the health of every patient, and nutrition diagnosis and treatment should run through the whole process of clinical diagnosis and treatment. Professional nutritional support and care for pediatric tube feeding requires collaboration from clinicians, dietitians, pharmacists, and nutrition nurses. Therefore, multidisciplinary nutrition management is the best nutrition management model. In order to provide professional and coordinated nutritional support, multidisciplinary team members need to communicate effectively and regularly with clear roles and responsibilities, which is important to ensure the success of the team.

In a multidisciplinary nutrition management team, the role of nurses cannot be ignored, from nutritional risk screening, nutritional assessment to nutritional treatment and monitoring. Whether nurses have rich knowledge of enteral nutrition and professional and proficient operation skills are directly related to the nutritional status and clinical prognosis of patients. In foreign countries, the role and importance of nutrition nurses in multidisciplinary nutrition support teams have been widely recognized, and they have played an important role in improving clinical outcomes, saving costs and improving the quality of care by participating in team nutrition management with their professional knowledge and practical experience. In mainland China, nutrition nurses are still in the initial stage of functional division and management system construction, and urgently need to improve their professional knowledge and practical skills.
To this end, Nestlé Health Science gathers global resources and invites top experts at home and abroad to share cutting-edge academic knowledge and advanced practical experience in the field of tube feeding nutrition nursing, helping professional medical workers improve their professional ability and technical level, fully ensuring the effective implementation of pediatric clinical enteral nutrition programs, so that children can obtain timely, standardized and systematic tube feeding treatment and follow-up, and promote the prognosis of children and the improvement of family quality of life.
Qu Dong, director of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, said that enteral nutrition is the preferred nutritional supplement for critically ill children, and the timing of gavage feeding is particularly important, as these children need to start enteral nutrition within 24 to 48 hours of admission, and standardized nutrition management processes are essential to start enteral nutrition earlier, achieve target feeding amounts faster, and improve clinical outcomes. During the period of tube feeding and feeding, regular monitoring and evaluation should also be carried out to facilitate timely intervention and management, and ultimately achieve the goals of nutritional support and clinical prognosis, and improve the recovery rate of children.

As one of the key driving forces to guide the orderly development of the industry, the standardization and standardization of tube feeding nutrition management are also hot topics in the sub-venues. Professor Beth Lyman, a nutrition nurse at Habitat for Children in Kansas City and a former board member of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), shared the topic of evaluation and management of enteral nutrition intolerance, and pointed out that a study of 63 children's hospitals in the United States showed that 24% of children in the United States are using nasogastric tubes every day. Enteral nutrition is supported by an orogastric tube or retropyloric feeding tube, and only an accurate assessment of enteral nutrition intolerance and the development of appropriate management strategies can achieve adequate gavage feeding and achieve the best clinical results.

Over the past decade, Nestlé Health Sciences has been deeply involved in the development of norms and standards for nutrition management, working with medical professionals to develop standardized nutrition management processes for children with perioperative, critically ill, cerebral palsy/neurological injury and haematological malignancies, focusing on the needs of children. At the practical level, it also cooperated with clinical experts to launch a video of tube feeding enteral nutrition intubation to guide the standardized operation process and empower children's medical nutrition.
As a global leader in medical nutrition, Nestlé Health Science continues to provide enteral nutrition solutions for pediatric nutrition problems, and uses extraordinary nutrition to help children accelerate recovery with Chinese clinicians. At the same time, Nestlé Health Science has also continued to make efforts in patient education, not only transforming professional academic knowledge into easy-to-understand popular science videos, instruction manuals and posters to help parents understand tube feeding care, but also working with Xinhuanet to speak for patients, raising the attention and awareness of tube feeding treatment in the society, and promoting public awareness of tube feeding nutrition in children.
This year is the 10th year that Nestlé Health Science has been in the same league as Chinese pediatric clinical nutrition, and at the time of opening a new chapter, it has also injected new vitality into the development of Chinese children's tube feeding nutrition.
