Parenteral Nutrition Associated Cholestasis
Conditions
Brief summary
The Investigators hypothesize that increased cumulative amount of lipid intake causes PNAC in late preterm and term neonates with major GI surgical disorders
Interventions
intravenous given daily for 6 weeks
Sponsors
Study design
Masking description
The care taker team provided daily weight to the research pharmacist for calculating the dose of the lipid according to the assignment and then calculated the rate of administration over 18 to 24 hours depending on the volume. The rate and dose was masked to the investigators and participants.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
All neonates ≥ 34 weeks gestational age with major GI surgical disorders (Gastroschisis, omphalocele, volvulus, trachea-esophageal fistula, duodenal atresia, jejunal atresia, ileal atresia, hirschsprung's disease, anorectal malformation, intestinal obstruction, and GI perforations) requiring surgery admitted to our NICU within first 72 hours will be eligible for this study
Exclusion criteria
1. If does not need TPN by 72 hours; 2. Direct hyperbilirubinemia within the first 72 hours after birth; 3. TORCH infections (Toxoplasmosis, CMV, Herpes, Rubella, HIV, etc); 4. Biliary tract disorders leading to direct hyperbilirubinemia; 5. Known metabolic disorders that may be associated with direct hyperbilirubinemia- such as Galactosemia, α-1 antitrypsin deficiency, etc
