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...

SBAR II: Application of SBAR

SBAR II: Application of SBAR

SBAR is an effective communication tool used by healthcare professionals to communicate patient information accurately. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. For a better understanding, an example is given below.
SBAR Report from a Nurse to a Health Care Provider
S: "Hello, Dr. Smith. This is Jane, RN, from the Med Surg unit. I am calling to tell you about Ms. White in Room 210, who is experiencing increased pain and redness at her incision site. Her recent...

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...

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,...

Area of Science:

Public Health
Disaster Medicine
Pediatrics

Background:

Infant feeding practices are critical during emergency relief operations.
Middle-income countries face unique challenges in infant health protection during crises.
Established infant feeding norms can be disrupted by disasters, impacting infant health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the complexities of infant feeding during emergency relief in middle-income countries.
To identify key challenges in supporting both breastfeeding and artificial feeding in disaster settings.
To propose policy and programmatic recommendations for improving infant health during emergencies.

Main Methods:

Qualitative exploration of infant feeding issues in recent emergency relief operations.
Analysis of challenges in supporting breastfeeding where it is not the norm.
Assessment of risks associated with artificial feeding in disaster conditions.

Main Results:

Infant feeding issues significantly complicate efforts to protect infant health in emergency settings.
Protecting breastfeeding is difficult in communities where it is no longer the norm.
Artificial feeding of infants during disasters carries dramatically increased risks.

Conclusions:

Effective infant feeding strategies are essential for successful emergency relief.
Policy and program adjustments are needed to address infant feeding challenges in middle-income countries during disasters.
Recommendations are provided to support breastfeeding and ensure safer artificial feeding practices in crisis situations.
