Summary
Intestinal failure (IF) is defined as the end result of any gastrointestinal disorder in which functional intestinal mass is insufficient to allow adequate growth, hydration, and electrolyte balance in children and adults. Inherent in this definition is the requirement for parental nutrition (PN), which is provided to maintain fluid, energy, protein, electrolyte, and micronutrient delivery in the absence of adequate intestinal function. In the pediatric population, IF may be the end result of various primary etiologies, although the most common is short bowel syndrome (SBS) following congenital or acquired disorders, including necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), small intestinal atresia, volvulus, and gastroschisis. Table 15.1 summarizes the most common etiologies of pediatric IF.
