Krause ch 13: Nutr support Flashcards
what is EN?
nutr provided thru GI tract via catheter/tube or stoma that delivers nutrients distal to oral cavity
in ICU pt, feeding the GIT has been shown to attenuate ____ and preserve ____ function
catabolic response; immune
less septic morbidity, infectious complications, cost in critically ill who receive ____ instead of ___
EN; PN
undesirable risks/outcomes referred to as:
sentinel events
EN access selection depends on:
1) anticipated length of time required 2) degree of risk for aspiration/displacement 3) clinical status 4) adequacy digestion/absorption 5) pt anatomy 6) future surgery planned
one french size is ___ mm
0.33
potential complications of nasoenteric tubes
esophageal strictures, gastroesophageal reflux resulting in aspiration pneumonia, fistula, injury, mucosa damage, nasal irritation, paralysis, inflammation, varices, ulcerations
nonsurgical technique for placing tube directly into stomach thru ab wall using endoscope
PEG/PEJ
PEG tubes flush to the skin (low profile) known as:
buttons
PEG can be converted to ____ using fluoroscopy or endoscopy by threading small bore tube thru larger tube into jejumum
gastrojejunostomy
alternative options for EN access:
laparoscopic/fluoroscopic techniques
tubes used for pt where prolonged gastrointestinal decompression is anticipated
gastrojejunal dual tubes
how does multiple lumen tube work?
one lumen for decompression, one to feed into small bowel
blendereized (homemade) tube feeds are contraindicated for these pts:
immunocompromised, infusion thru tube smaller than 10 French, continuous feeding, fluid resctriction <900mL/d, multi food allergies, JT is used
what is PBGT diet?
specialized balanced blended food feeding given by g tube in small boluses to decrease symptoms of retching/gagging which can be complication of certain surgery, improve tolerance of bolus feeds for ppl who are volume sensitive
____ (a.a.) has been added to formulas marketed for critically ill pt
arginine
CHO in EN is usually ____ in standard, ___ in flavoured formulas, _____ for hydrolyzed
corn syrup solids; sucrose; cornstarch/maltodextrin
these prebiotics have been added to EN formulas in combo with diet fibre cuz stim production of beneficial bacteria (good changes in colon pH , microbiota, SCFA)
fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
elemental formulas contain less fat, usually in this form:
MCT
____ lipids are absorbed more readily/better tolerated than LCT/MCT combos
structured
does MCT have essential fatty acid?
nope
what is a fibre bezoar?
hard ball of hair/veg fibre that can develop in stomach
closed vs open EN system?
container is prefilled with sterile liquid formula by manufacturer, ready to feed after connection; contents of formula poured into separate empty container and then connected
length of time EN formula hanging at room temp is considered safe for delivery
hang time
how to do gravity feeding?
pour formula into feeding bag equipped w/ roller clamp, adjusted to desired drips per min.
