The potential for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery has contributed largely to wide feeding practice variations and a hesitation to initiate enteral feeding during the preoperative period, specifically those patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. A retrospective chart review of neonates undergoing cardiac surgery at a single institution between July 2011 and July 2013 was performed. The primary objective of this study was to determine if preoperative feeding was associated with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in neonates requiring cardiac surgery. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship between preoperative feeding and NEC. Secondary outcomes including growth failure, total ventilator days and total length of stay were analyzed. One hundred thirty consecutive neonates who required cardiac surgery were included in the analysis. Preoperative feeding occurred in 61% (n=79). The overall prevalence of NEC was 9% (12/130), including 3 neonates with surgical NEC. There was no difference in the prevalence of NEC between the preoperative feeding and nil per os (NPO) groups. NPO preoperatively was associated with longer ventilator dependent days (p=0.01) but was not associated with worsened growth failure or longer length of stay. In this study cohort, preoperative feeding was not associated with NEC. Larger prospective studies evaluating the safety and benefits of preoperative feeding in cardiac neonates are warranted.
