Nutritional management and home monitoring programs, along with early feeding gastrostomy tube (GT) placement, may be beneficial for improving interstage morbidity and mortality in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). These interventions have shown to optimize somatic growth and provide a reliable mode of nutritional support, especially for high-risk patients.
Nutritional management and home monitoring programs (HMPs) may be beneficial for improving interstage morbidity and mortality following stage I Norwood palliation (S1P) for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). We recognized an increasing trend towards early feeding gastrostomy tube (GT) placement prior to discharge in our institution, and we aimed to investigate the effect of HMPs and GTs on interstage mortality and growth parameters. Single-institutional review at a tertiary referral center between 2008 and 2018. Individual patient charts were reviewed in the electronic medical record. Those listed for transplant or hybrid procedures were excluded. Baseline demographics, operative details, and interstage outcomes were analyzed in GT and non-GT patients (nGT). Our HMP was instituted in 2009, and patients were analyzed by era: I (early, 2008-2012), II (intermediate, 2013-2016), and III (recent, 2017-2018). 79 patients were included in the study: 29 nGTs and 50 GTs. GTs had higher number of preoperative risk factors more S1P complications, longer ventilation times, longer lengths of stay, and shorter times to readmission. There were no differences in interstage mortality or overall mortality between groups. There was one readmission for a GT-related issue with no periprocedural complications in the group. Weight gain doubled after GT placement in the interstage period while waiting periods for placement decreased across Eras. HMPs and early GTs, especially for patients with high-risk features, provide a dependable mode of nutritional support to optimize somatic growth following S1P.
