Abstract
Abstract Patients with alternative enteral access for corrosive oesophageal stricture are a particularly sensitive group of patients requiring dedicated nutritional care. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown, restrictions, financial constraints and delayed surgeries have resulted in nutritional deprivation. Many of these patients present late to healthcare institutions with severe malnutrition. Refeeding should be done carefully in them to prevent refeeding syndrome. Here, we describe the clinical course of three patients who were on jejunostomy feeds for corrosive injury of the oesophagus, developed feeding tube-related complications and presented with severe malnutrition during the COVID-19 pandemic.
