| | Enteric feeding |
 | | Withholding of enteric nutrition is a standard way of performing euthanasia with unconscious patients, especially elderly patients who fail to have a prompt recovery from surgery or other medical mishaps. | | | Some practitioners point out that withholding of enteric nutrition is less humane than use of opiates, because the patient dies a lingering death of dehydration. | | | In Enteric feeding, a tube is passed up a patient's nose, through their pharynx (the hollow that connects the back of one's throat with the nose), and down their esophagus (the tube to their stomach). |

| | Neonatology on the Web: Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) |
| | Feeding intolerance frequently is accompanied by changes in stool pattern. | | | This pattern is more frequent in preterm infants than full-term infants and is characterized by varying degrees of feeding intolerance, changes in the stooling pattern, or both. | | | The premature infant is exposed to numerous perinatal stresses, such as hypotension, hypothermia, hypoxia, feeding, anemia, and umbilical vessel catheterization, which have been postulated to play a role in pathogenesis of ischemic injury to the neonatal intestine. |

| | Postgraduate Medicine: Tube feeding in the elderly |
| | Feeding tubes are classified as nasogastric, nasojejunal, gastrostomy (ie, percutaneous, surgical, or radiologic), or jejunostomy (ie, percutaneous or surgical). | | | Although the concept of tube feeding and its outcomes are controversial, it remains a convenient, effective, inexpensive, and practical means of providing enteral nutrition in some patients. | | | Patients and families should be provided with a realistic picture of the probable long-term outcome of patients who are tube-fed, without providing undue expectations of favorable outcomes (4,12,14). |

| | Consultant Pharmacist: January 1999 Administering Medications via Feeding Tubes |
| | By maximizing the therapeutic response to medication and preventing occlusion of the drug delivery access, the patient receiving enteral nutrition will have optimal feeding outcomes. | | | Consultant pharmacists have an opportunity to provide cost-effective educational opportunities and medication profile supervision for health care professionals administering medications to patients receiving tube feeding. | | | Adapters are often placed on the end of the tube to aid in feeding, flushing, and medication delivery. |

| | Tube Feeding Orders |
| | Multiple studies have demonstrated tube feeding therapy, when provided under usual hospital conditions, does not meet patient's energy requirements due to one or more of the following reasons: temporary feeding interruptions, gastrointestinal intolerance, medical procedures requiring discontinuation of feeding, feeding tube positioning difficulties, and failure of physicians to order estimated or calculated energy needs. | | | Thus, patients received a mean volume of enteral tube feeding that was only 51.6 percent of goal. | | | Diarrhea occurred in 23 patients (52.3 percent) for a mean 38.2 percent of enteral tube feeding days. |

| | Quantitative Ruminant Nutrition--A Green Science |
| | In reviewing the literature, however, Czerkawski (1986) found values for microbial growth under a wide variety of feeding conditions to be very constant between studies. | | | Those of us who have attempted to apply knowledge of quantitative digestion and metabolism to the establishment of feeding systems in the real world soon recognized that these assumptions do not, generally, apply; in particular, they do not apply to the 'forage fed' ruminant. | | | Environmental change, over the next 50-100 years, due to the warming effect of the accumulation of gases in the atmosphere, will clearly necessitate changes in resource allocation and utilization in the world and will directly affect all countries. |

| | Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition |
| | Tube tips can be positioned in the stomach or duodenum, or surgically placed distal to an intestinal anastomotic site in the jejunum or ileum. | | | Enteral feeding pumps are not as costly or as complex as those used for intravenous therapy. | | | Children on tube feeding require a team approach to ensure appropriate nutrition (nutritionist), continuation of development of oromotor skills and intake of nutrients by mouth whenever possible (speech therapist), appropriate support of the equipment and ostomy site (ileostomy/colostomy nurse practitioner), and psychological support whenever necessary [34]. |

| | Even if postprocedural peritonitis develops, most patients can effectively be treated with nonsurgical means as long as the tube is correctly positioned in the stomach or jejunum. | | | First described in 1837, surgical gastrostomy was the mainstay of direct enteral feeding access for decades. | | | Interventional radiologists who seek to develop enteral access services should also be able to manage common problems related to feeding tubes. |

| | High Mortality in Gastrostomy Patients - Journal Watch (General) |
| | Comment: Although enteric feeding can be lifesaving in certain medical conditions, these data confirm that gastrostomies are often placed in patients with very poor prognoses. | | | This study examined retrospective survival data for 80,108 Medicare patients who in 1991 received gastrostomies, of which 59,969 were percutaneous placements. | | | As the authors note, many enterally-fed patients "are not dying because of lack of nutrition, but rather lack the need to eat because they are dying." Gastrostomy should be considered only in the context of larger discussions with patients and families about the aggressiveness of care. |

| | Care of the child under these circumstances includes the provision of warmth, physical and social comfort, enteric feeding (where biologically possible), hydration and control of pain even in those situations where the use of analgesics may conceivably hasten death. | | | If a decision for selective non-treatment is made, the subsequent management of the child and family should be carried out with the utmost sensitivity, support and compassion. | | | However, the use of sedatives or analgesics with the objective of hastening death is forbidden. |

| | The residentÂ’s ability to take in nutrients via the gastrointestinal tract may change over time, thus allowing the process of weaning from the TPN therapy. | | | As the length of time the patient is receiving a stable TPN regimen increases, the intervals between evaluation may be lengthened. | | | It is important to remember to serially check for the residentÂ’s ability to take in nutrients orally, to perform calorie counts if the resident is consuming some food orally, or to quantify the enteral formula intake if the resident is receiving nutrients via some type of enteric feeding tube. |
