Study Notes
- Enteral nutrition can be delivered through continuous, intermittent, or bolus feedings.
- The choice of delivery method should consider the patient's tolerance, location of feeding tube tip, nutritional requirements, mobility, availability of electric pump, and cost.
- There are different types of tube feeding formulas, including standard, elemental, high calorie/high protein, disease-specific, blenderized, and modular.
- The choice of formula should consider the patient's health condition, food allergies or intolerances, and ability to digest and absorb nutrients.
- Tube feeding formulas can be administered at room temperature or chilled, and the hang time should not exceed 8-12 hours.
- Water flushes are usually ordered along with the formula prescription to meet the patient's fluid needs and prevent tube clogging.
- To calculate the amount of tube feeding needed for a patient, the energy needs are divided by the kcal/ml of the formula.
- Patients started on tube feeding during their hospital stay are considered high risk and should be evaluated by the dietitian.
- If the tube feed is stopped or running at a lower rate than what is ordered, this will impact the total amount of nutrients the patient receives.
- Nursing staff is responsible for administering the tube feed, while the diet office provides the tube feeding to the wards.
- Enteral nutrition is delivered through the gastrointestinal tract, while parenteral nutrition is delivered intravenously.
- Parenteral nutrition is costly and associated with higher risk for complications compared to enteral nutrition.
- Parenteral nutrition is often considered “a last resort” when enteral nutrition is not possible.
- The decision to initiate parenteral nutrition is based on a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition and nutrient needs.
- There are two types of parenteral nutrition: TPN/CPN and PPN.
- TPN/CPN delivers nutrients into a large central vein, while PPN provides a portion of the daily nutrient needs delivered via the peripheral veins.
- Parenteral solutions are sterile, liquid chemical formulas that are comprised of amino acids, dextrose, lipid emulsions, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and water.
- PN prescriptions are often tailored to the individual’s nutrition needs and may need to be recalculated on a daily basis until the patient’s condition is stable.
- Parenteral nutrition solutions are formulated in the pharmacy as one of the following solutions: 2-1 solution, 3-1 solution.
- PN is generally infused/delivered continuously over a 24 hour period but can run in shorter cycles.
