Enteral feeding facts

There are a range of different routes and types of feeding tubes by which patients may be enterally fed.
The use of enteral tube feeding is increasing in both hospital and home health care.
Feeding regimens need to be devised and reviewed by the dietitian to take into account nutritional requirements, patient tolerance and convenience.

Nowadays there is a range of enteral feeding sets for home health care which play a vital role in ensuring a smooth running system of enteral nutrition.

Multi disciplinary teams of home health care professionals need to be available to ensure effective follow up of home care fed patients.

There needs to be adequate training education and support for those providing home care to enterally fed patients.

Home care enteral tube feeding

By the time of discharge, patients and caregivers should have been adequately trained on the various aspects of the home enteral tube feeding system, to ensure safe and effective enteral feeding at home. The British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN) has set standards for practice for home enteral tube feeding; this includes providing information so patients and caregivers can feel confident, emergency contact names and telephone numbers and addresses of support groups such as patients on Intravenous and Naso gastric feeding.
