<p>Early initiation of enteral nutrition improves clinical outcomes in critical patients with serious burns. Post-pyloric tube feeding is a valuable therapeutic option for severely burned patients with poor gastric emptying. How early post-pyloric feeding can be initiated to provide more benefits to patients has not yet been examined. A fire erupted at a recreational water park in New Taipei City, Taiwan, on June 27, 2015. The results of early initiation versus delayed post-pyloric feeding in severely burned patients in this mass-casualty incident were compared. Door-to-post-pyloric feeding time ≤ 24 h was considered as early post-pyloric feeding (EPF) and that > 24 h was considered as delayed post-pyloric feeding (DPF). Thirteen patients with severe burn injuries (> 40% of the total body surface area) were assigned to undergo either EPF (five patients) or DPF (eight patients). This study is a “fortuitously controlled” study, and the authors were able to formulate and test whether EPF is better than DPF by comparing the two groups. In patients in the EPF, the intake of calories increased rapidly and was maintained throughout the study period. In addition, rapid restoration of plasma magnesium concentrations as well as pronounced recovery of platelet count in the EPF group was observed. In conclusion, our findings indicate that the time from injury to the onset of post-pyloric feeding is crucial, and EPF allows for the administration of calculated caloric needs. Therefore, EPF can be successfully initiated with beneficial outcomes of nutritional reconstruction in severely burned patients.</p>
