Monday, January 31, 2022, 12:00 PM (Local time in Montreal)
Local time (Corresponding local time at your current location)
The duration of this presentation is scheduled for 60 minutes.

Overview

Children and adults with intestinal failure can present with significant feeding challenges that impact the intestinal rehabilitation programs ability to advance enteral nutrition, potentially resulting in long-term oral aversion and feeding difficulties. Similarly these challenges can persist in intestinal transplantation patients placing patients at risk for long-term feeding and nutritional difficulties.

Learning Objectives

  1. Discuss challenges that present in children with intestinal failure related to feeding difficulties
  2. Review case study in adult patients post-transplant that created feeding challenges and approaches to overcome these unique difficulties
  3. Determine potential interventions and supports that could support feeding difficulties in intestinal failure/transplantations from the perspective of a multidisciplinary team.
