Study Summary
There are several choices to consider when determining the timing of initiation of enteral feeds following a pyloromyotomy. Some practice patterns have initiated feedings as soon as the infant awakens from anesthesia. Some authors have suggested a period of withholding feedings for several hours postoperatively, while others have recommended a significantly longer period of starvation (18 hours) before initiating feedings. The ongoing debate arises over whether a physician chooses a standardized, incremental feeding regimen versus an ad libitum feeding schedule which allows the infant to decide when and how much to eat. Neither has been studied effectively in a randomized controlled setting. A recent review of the literature would suggest that a period of 4 hours of NPO, followed by ad lib feedings may be the best postoperative regimen. This however, has not been studied in a randomized, controlled trial.
