Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the " Standard for Enteral Feeding Care in Critically Ill Pediatric Patients " (T/CNAS 45-2024) in a multicenter setting. Tube feeding is a critical intervention for maintaining the nutritional status of critically ill children, particularly when oral intake of sufficient nutrition is not possible. While there are established guidelines for enteral nutr...Show More
Detailed Description
Tube feeding is the administration of liquid food, fluids, nutritional preparations, and medications directly into the gastrointestinal tract of a patient through an enteral feeding tube to meet their nutritional and therapeutic needs. In the treatment of critically ill children, tube feeding plays a vital role in maintaining nutritional status and preventing complications such as gastrointestinal failure. However, p...Show More

ExperimentalEvidence-based tube feeding care for critically ill children
This arm will implement the "Standard for Tube Feeding Care of Critically Ill Children" (T/CNAS 45-2024) across multiple centers, monitoring changes in care quality, improving tube feeding practices, and identifying complications in critically ill pediatric patients.
Evidence-based tube feeding care
1. Conduct FAME Evaluation: Develop a specific and feasible proposal; 2. Assess Current Performance: Conduct a baseline survey; 3. Identify Facilitators and Barriers: Recognize factors that promote or hinder progress. 4. Select and Develop Change Strategies: Choose and design a set of transformation strategies. 5. Develop and Implement Action Plan: Create and execute an implementation plan with activities, tasks, and...Show More
Active ComparatorRoutine enteral feeding procedure
Enteral feeding will be conducted according to the existing nursing protocols for enteral nutrition in each participating center.
Routine Enteral Feeding Care
1. The physician issues a medical order. 2. The nurse completes enteral feeding based on the standard routine care process.
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Nurses' Compliance with Feeding Tube Practice Behavior
The total number of feeding tube procedures performed by nurses during the study period will serve as the denominator, while the number of procedures that adhere to best evidence practice guidelines will be the numerator, calculating the compliance rate of nurses' feeding tube practice behavior.
through study completion,8 months
Energy Target Achievement Rate
The ratio of the target energy required by the feeding protocol to the actual energy delivered to the patient, calculating the energy target achievement rate.
through study completion,8 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Adverse Event Rate
The total number of adverse events (e.g., aspiration, tube displacement, gastrointestinal complications) occurring during feeding tube procedures will serve as the numerator, and the total number of feeding tube procedures will be the denominator, calculating the adverse event rate.
through study completion,8 months
Nurses' Knowledge Level on Feeding Tube Care
The "Nurses' Knowledge of Feeding Tube Care" questionnaire, a self-designed tool, will be used to assess the nurses' knowledge of feeding tube care, comparing the correct answer rates before and after the intervention to evaluate the effect of the educational intervention.
