Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding01:15

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
Nurses that work in hospitals have...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...

Hospitals-I

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...
Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition01:27

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

Bioavailability studies are essential for evaluating a drug's therapeutic efficacy and understanding its absorption patterns under various physiological conditions. Conducting such studies on target patient populations provides more relevant data by simulating real-world disease states. However, practical challenges often necessitate the use of young, healthy adult volunteers as study subjects.Patients may exhibit altered drug absorption patterns due to the effects of the disease itself,...

Summary

Hospital malnutrition is underassessed. Nutritional supplements helped patients maintain nutritional status, despite longer hospital stays, indicating improved patient outcomes in nutritional care.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Hospital Medicine
  • Patient Outcomes

Background:

  • Hospital malnutrition is frequently unassessed.
  • Malnourished patients seldom receive targeted nutritional therapy.
  • Early nutritional assessment is crucial for patient recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of nutritional intervention on patient outcomes.
  • To assess the effectiveness of a high-protein, high-caloric supplement in hospitalized patients.
  • To determine if nutritional support improves nutritional status markers.

Main Methods:

  • 50 patients were assessed using the Nutritional Risk Score (NRS).
  • 22 patients (intervention group) received nutritional supplements; 28 (non-intervention group) received standard care.

  • Body weight, BMI, and laboratory values were monitored; calorie and protein intake were compared to requirements.

    • Main Results:

    • The intervention group maintained better nutritional status, with higher calorie and protein intake percentages.
    • The non-intervention group experienced significant weight loss, BMI reduction, and decreased albumin levels.
    • While hospital stay was longer in the intervention group, key nutritional markers were better preserved.

    Conclusions:

    • Nutritional intervention, including supplements, helps maintain patient nutritional status in hospitals.
    • Despite increased length of stay, targeted nutritional therapy improves key health indicators.
    • This study highlights the importance of proactive nutritional assessment and intervention in hospitalized patients.
