From colostomy creation to full enteral feeding in neonates with an anorectal malformation: evaluating the role of central venous access
The majority of neonates undergoing colostomy formation for an ARM require more than five days to achieve full enteral feeding. It is recommended to bridge this period of inadequate feeding with either fluids or parenteral nutrition by inserting a CVAD during colostomy formation, particularly for those with comorbidities affecting neonatal feeding tolerance.
