Study Notes
Parenteral Feeding
- A parenteral feeding solution with a concentration of 5000 osmoles should be administered through the central route only.
- Parenteral feeding is associated with complications such as hepatotoxicity, increased risk of infections, and intestinal hypoplasia.
Enteral Feeding
- Enteral feeding is indicated for patients with severe swallowing disorders.
- Contraindications for enteral feeding include severe GI bleeding, high output fistula, intractable vomiting, diarrhea, severe malabsorption, and complete intestinal obstruction.
- Enteral feeding can be administered through a nasoenteral tube, nasogastric tube, or enterostomy tube.
- Continuous feeding is the best way to administer feeding directly to the intestine.
Intermittent Feeding
- Intermittent feeding involves delivering 200-450 ml of formula over 20-40 minutes.
- It is a type of enteral feeding that can be used for patients who require tube feeding.
Tube Feeding
- Tube feeding is indicated for patients with impaired motility in the upper GI tract, severe GI bleeding, high output fistula, or intractable vomiting.
- It is recommended for patients who have undergone surgery, such as a 1-month old baby post cardiac surgery.
- The route of tube feeding depends on the patient's condition, such as transnasal tube feeding for a 1-month old baby.
Nutrition Support
- Patients with impaired motility in the upper GI tract and a low BMI may require enteral tube feeding as a nutrition support.
- Parenteral nutrition is indicated for patients who are unable to tolerate enteral feeding, such as those with severe vomiting.
Miscellaneous
- A patient who has undergone proctocolectomy and has a low BMI may require parenteral feeding with continuous efforts to empty the intestine for enteral feeding.
- A 6-month old girl with severe GERD and recurrent aspiration pneumonia may require continuous tube feeding until the procedure day.
- Enteral feeding can be shifted to oral feeding when the patient is ready, such as when the fistula heals.
