Study Notes
Nutrition Support Methods
- Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients via feeding tube.
- Parenteral nutrition provides nutrients through intravenous infusion.
Oral Nutrition Supplements
- Patients with difficulty eating, those with increased nutritional needs, or recovering from illness may benefit from oral nutrition supplements.
- Key advantage includes ease of administration and ability to enhance caloric intake without requiring a complete dietary overhaul.
- Considerations for recommending supplements include patient’s dietary restrictions, taste preferences, and existing health conditions.
Enteral Nutrition
- Enteral nutrition involves providing nutrients directly into the gastrointestinal tract.
- Requirement for patients to receive enteral nutrition: functional gastrointestinal tract capable of digestion and absorption.
Contraindications and Advantages
- Contraindications for enteral nutrition may include gastrointestinal obstruction or severe gastrointestinal dysfunction.
- Key advantage of enteral nutrition over parenteral nutrition is the maintenance of gut integrity and function.
Parenteral Nutrition Insights
- Parenteral solutions primarily derive energy from carbohydrates, particularly glucose.
- Recommended maximum osmolarity limit for peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) solutions is 900 mOsm/L.
Feeding Protocols
- Starting rate for continuous feedings typically around 10-40 mL/hour.
- Recommended increase in feeding rate is 25-30 mL every 8 to 12 hours, depending on tolerance.
- Feedings should be withheld and evaluated for gastric residual volume (GRV) if residuals exceed a specified volume, indicating potential intolerance.
Hydration and Gastric Considerations
- Recommended daily water intake is approximately 30 mL per kilogram of body weight.
- Preferred feeding route for enteral nutrition is via a nasogastric or PEG feeding tube.
Complications and Risk Factors
- Aspiration occurs when food or liquid enters the airway, posing risk for pneumonia.
- Potential complications of parenteral nutrition include infection, metabolic disturbances, and liver dysfunction.
Macronutrient Recommendations
- Recommended macronutrient ranges for enteral formulas typically consist of carbohydrates (45-65%), fats (20-35%), and proteins (10-35%).
- A complication of aggressive feeding in severely malnourished individuals can include refeeding syndrome.
Patient Risk Factors
- High-risk patients for hypoglycemia during parenteral nutrition typically include those with diabetes or those with rapid changes in nutrient delivery.
- Gallbladder disease can affect bile production and fat metabolism in patients, with risk factors including obesity and rapid weight loss.
Metabolic Concerns
- Long-term parenteral nutrition can lead to metabolic bone disease due to deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium and vitamin D.
Nutrition Support Team
- The nutrition support team in hospitals plays a critical role in assessing, planning, and managing nutrition interventions to optimize patient outcomes.
