Blenderized tube feeds are associated with reduced hospital admissions and gastroesophageal symptoms, but may theoretically prolong gastric emptying because of their high viscosity. Our objective was to compare differences in gastric emptying with blenderized tube feeds versus with formula.
Descriptive analysis of our database of our specialized home enteral nutrition program was undertaken which included demographic information, anthropometrics, enteral nutrition regimen, electrolytes, and nutrition therapy history.
This review explores differences in enteral formulations, identifies implications for clinical practice, and reviews evidenced-based clinical guidelines to assist clinicians in enteral formula selection.
Caregivers must understand the nature of and indications for specific formulas to treat diseases, provide complete nutrition to patients, and avoid harm.
The study was conducted to examine and verify the clinical effects of pectin-containing oligomeric formula.
Retrospective review of our prospectively maintained home enteral nutrition database was conducted to assess tolerance, efficacy, and impact on healthcare utilization in patients on peptide-based diets .
This article presents a review of the recent literature that explored the impact of blenderized tube feeding on nutrition status and nutrition adequacy in adults.
Examination of the effects of plant-based enteral nutrition upon the gut bacteria of chronically ill children.
The objective was to demonstrate that an enteral nutrition formula with 37% protein can deliver most of prescribed protein, without overfeeding calories.
This review addresses research gaps by discussing five whole foods with bioactive attributes identified through literature searches and clinical experience as having substantial scientific rationale to consider their application for enteral tube feeding intolerance in adults
