Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

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.

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

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,...

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

Routes of Drug Administration: Enteral

Routes of Drug Administration: Enteral

Medications can be administered through the enteral route using liquids, capsules, or tablets.
Enteral administration involves drug administration via the mouth in two ways: orally or sublingually.
Unlike sublingually drugs, drugs that are taken orally pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and get metabolized by the liver. Once metabolized, the drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation, reaching different body parts via the bloodstream. However, while passing through the stomach,...

Two-Compartment Open Model: IV Bolus Administration

Two-Compartment Open Model: IV Bolus Administration

The two-compartment model for intravenous (IV) bolus administration illustrates drug distribution in the body, subdividing it into central and peripheral compartments. This model operates on the concept of two-compartment kinetics. The drug's plasma concentration shows a bi-exponential decline following IV bolus administration, signaling the presence of two disposition processes: distribution and elimination.
The disparity between drug input and the sum of drug transfer rates between...

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Medical Technology Evaluation

Background:

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Technology Committee reviews endoscopic technologies.
Enteral feeding access is crucial for patients unable to eat orally.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate existing, new, and emerging endoscopic technologies for enteral feeding access.
To provide an evidence-based review of clinical studies and reported complications.

Main Methods:

MEDLINE and MAUDE database searches for clinical studies and complications.
Supplemented by PubMed 'related articles' and reference scrutiny.
Emphasis on controlled trials, supplemented by case series and expert opinions when RCTs are lacking.

Main Results:

Searched MEDLINE through August 2009 for enteral feeding access endoscopy keywords.
Gathered technical data from publications and vendor communications.
Included financial guidance on coding and pricing where applicable.

Conclusions:

Technology Status Evaluation Reports are for educational purposes.
These reports do not establish a legal standard of care.
The review provides a comprehensive overview of endoscopic enteral feeding access technologies.
