A Post‐Extubation Early Feeding Protocol ( <scp>PEEF</scp> ) in a Tertiary Paediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Quality Improvement Initiative
Implementation of the PEEF protocol reduced the time to resume enteral nutrition and the time to reach pre-extubation feeding rates although improvement was not consistent with the goals of PEEF. Continuing assessment and education are required to drive outcomes further towards target goals.
