DEPARTMENT= PRE-PHYSICIAN
TOPIC NAME - enteral and external ways of introduction of medical production
Indications for Enteral Nutrition
Malnourished patient expected to be unable to eat >5-7 days
Normally nourished patient expected to be unable to eat >7-9 days
Adaptive phase of short bowel syndrome
Increased needs that cannot be met through oral intake (burns, trauma)
Inadequate oral intake resulting in deterioration of nutritional status or delayed recovery from illness
Advantages—Enteral Nutrition Intake easily/accurately monitored Provides nutrition when oral is not
possible or adequate Supplies readily available Reduces risks associated with
disease state
Enteral Formulas Liquid diets intended for oral use or
for tube feeding Ready-to-use or powdered form Designed to meet variety of medical
and nutrition needs Can be used alone or given with foods
Contraindications for EN Inadequate resuscitation or
hypotension; hemodynamic instability
Ileus Intestinal obstruction Severe G.I. Bleed Expected need less than 5-7
days if malnourished or 7-9 days if normally nourished
Disease Specific FormulasDiabetic Blood glucose control in acute
care is often affected by illness, infection, other issues
Patients on enteral feedings generally receive a more consistent CHO intake than persons on oral diets
May be worth trying diabetes formulas in patients who have failed to achieve good blood glucose control on standard formulas
Enteral Formula Nutrient SourcesCarbohydrate CHO content ranges from 40-90%
of total calories Typically some combination of
hydrolyzed cornstarch, maltodextrins, corn syrup solids, sucrose
FOS: fructooligosaccharides; poorly absorbed in the small intestine, fermented in the large intestine; may promote growth of healthy bacteria
Fiber: soy polysaccharide (most common) guar gum, oat fiber, pectin
Closed vs Open SystemOpen System Hang time 8 hours for
decanted formula; 4 hours for formula mixtures
Feeding bag and tubing should be rinsed each time formula replenished
Contaminated feedings are associated with pt morbidity
Closed System Hang time 24-48 hours
based on mfr recommendations
Y port can be used to deliver additional fluid and modulars
May result in less formula waste as open system formula should be discarded p 8 hours
