Clinical practice insight: vasoactive-inotropic drugs do not impede early enteral nutrition in pediatric ECMO support
Vasoactive-inotropic drug use does not impede the early initiation of EN in pediatric ECMO patients. However, higher VIS in the initial 48 h is associated with suboptimal energy delivery. These findings suggest that while EN can be started early despite vasoactive support, closer monitoring of hemodynamic status is warranted to optimize nutritional adequacy.
