Abstract: Double enterostomies (DES) and necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) are prevalent in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), commonly resulting from surgical removal of diseased intestine. Sarcopenia prevalence is >40% in community dwelling elderly >65 yrs and is associated with poor nutritional status before/after abdominal surgery, with intestinal failure (IF) and high output stoma losses. Parenteral Nutrition (PN) is the standard of care for Type 2 IF patients with DES or enteroatmospheric fistulas (EAF), but risks catheter-related complications, infection, gut and hepatobiliary dysfunction. Chyme reinfusion therapy (CRT) is a recommended distal feeding technique that may minimise these risks.
