Presentation Transcript

  1. Enteral Nutrition Support • Fluid and electrolyte requirements. • Calculate enteral and parenteral nutrition formulations.

  2. ENS • Selecting the formula • Integrity of GI system • Type of protein, fat, CHO, fiber in formula • Kcal & protein density of formula

  3. ENS • Selecting the formula • Ability of formula as taken to meet pt nutrient needs • Viscosity of formula and TF equipment • Cost of formula

  4. ENS Components • Intact or polymeric formulas • Hydrolyzed or elemental formulas

  5. ENS Components • Molality and molarity • number of free particles/unit wt or volume • the higher the number the more free particles • the higher the number more osmotic force • mOsm

  6. ENS Components • Isotonic - • 350 mOsm/kg or less • Intact formulas • 300 - 500 mOsm/kg • Hydrolyzed nutrient formulas - hyperosmolar • 900 mOsm/kg

  7. ENS Components • Density of formulas • more nutrients or kcal/ml the more dense • less free water • Dense formulas used • restrict water • other source of water

  8. ENS Components • Protein • polymeric formulas - intact HBV protein • What if small intestine can’t digest protein?

  9. ENS Components • CHO • starch hydrolysates • maltodextrins • sucrose • fructose • glucose

  10. ENS Components • CHO • osmolality increases as mover towards simple sugars

  11. ENS Components • Fat • corn, soy, safflower, canola • need 4% of total kcal as linoleic • some have MCT

  12. ENS Components • Fluid • need to check free water • standard formulas - 80 - 85% • calorie dense - 60%

  13. ENS Components • Fiber • soy polysaccaharide • fructooligosaccharides • 10 - 12 g/L

  14. Chart showing narrowing the choice of formulas next

  15. Narrowing the choice of formulas

  16. ENS • Things to consider when selecting • ability to digest • absorption • colonic residue • length of time on TF • risk of aspiration

  17. ENS Routes of Admin • Nasogastric • Nasoduodenal or jasojejunal • Enterostomies • percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) • percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ)

  18. ENS Admin • Bolus administration • maximum bolus - 400-450 ml • 4 - 6 times/day • Check gastric residual • Contraindications? • Describe pt this might work?

  19. ENS Admin • Continuous drip • infusion 18 - 24 hours • start 30 - 50 ml/hr • advance 8 - 12 hr as tolerate • flush with water

  20. What steps would you take in planning a tube feeding?

  21. Starting ENS • 300 mOsm - full strength, full rate • >600 mOsm - full strength, low rate & as tolerated advance

  22. Monitoring ENS • Table 22-5 Mahan • What would you monitor?

  23. Monitoring ENS • Gastric residuals • >150-200 ml without feeding • maintain elevation • wait 30-60 min • check again

  24. Monitoring ENS • Gastric residuals • if always 150-200 ml • find out why • if have this and greater with feeding - stop feeding or slow rate

  25. Complications ENS • Dehydration • why dehydrated • increase fluid • lower protein intake

  26. Complications ENS • Signs of excessive protein • dehydration • inadequate fluid intake • hypernatremia • hypercholremia

  27. Complications ENS • Signs of excessive protein • azotemia • pt appears confused

  28. Complications ENS • Aspiration pneumonia • make sure correct tube and placement of end of tube • elevate head 30 degrees • continuous drip 22-24 hrs

  29. Complications ENS • Diarrhea • lactose intolerance • bacterial contamination • hyperosmolar formula • low serum alb • medication

  30. END ENS • Questions? • Calculations next
