Continuous feeding is often indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:
- Preterm infants who have immature digestive systems. - Children with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) to reduce the risk of aspiration. - Patients with chronic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis or cardiac issues, who have increased caloric needs. - Children with neurologic impairments who cannot safely swallow. - Postoperative patients who require gradual reintroduction of nutrition.
