TF • Types: placement determines type of TF used: • Nasogastric • Nasoduodenal • Gatrostomy • Jejunostomy
REQUIREMENTS • Nutritionally complete • Varying caloric levels depending on tube feeding – must meet individual needs • Increase calorie contentincrease viscosity • CHO, PRO, FAT to meet energy needs • Density • Vitamins and minerals • With or without fiber • Lactose free
SPECIALTY FORMULAS • Stress, pulmonary, pediatric, liver, renal • Modular formulas Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids
ADMINISTRATION • Bolus • Gravity • Intermittent • Continuous
COMPLICATIONS • Clogging • Aspiration • Drug incompatibility • Nausea and vomiting • Diarrhea or constipation • Infections • Contaminated formula
PARENTERAL NUTRITION • Peripheral parenteral nutrition • Short – term • Partially meets nutritional needs
PARENTERAL NUTRITION • Total parenteral nutrition • Long-term • Nutritionally complete
