Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding01:26

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

1.3K
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

787
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,...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

871
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.

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management01:17

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management

2.5K
Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure that can be lifesaving for many patients with respiratory distress or failure. The role of nursing in managing endotracheal tubes is pivotal, as it involves pre-intubation preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-extubation care.
1. Nursing Care of Patients Before Intubation
Before the endotracheal intubation procedure, nurses play an essential role in ensuring the process goes smoothly. The nurses must be familiar with intubation...

Peritoneal Dialysis III: Nursing Management

693
Peritoneal dialysis, or PD, utilizes the peritoneal membrane as a filter to eliminate excess fluid and waste products. Effective nursing management is essential for ensuring patient safety, preventing complications, and promoting optimal function of the peritoneal dialysis process.Assessment and MonitoringNurses must thoroughly assess the patient before, during, and after each dialysis session. Regular monitoring includes vital signs, daily weight, fluid intake and output, and laboratory values...

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Gastroenterology
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) are exploring advanced practice skills.
  • Placing small bowel feeding tubes (SBFTs) is an emerging skill within RDN scope of practice.
  • The integration of RDNs in SBFT placement requires institutional and patient population consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on RDNs performing SBFT placements.
  • To explore the indications, benefits, and program development for RDN-led SBFT programs.
  • To assess the clinical and institutional outcomes of SBFTs placed by RDNs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review encompassing indications for SBFT.
  • Examination of benefits associated with RDNs performing SBFT placements.
  • Analysis of RDN-led SBFT program development, maintenance, and outcome assessment.

Main Results:

  • SBFT placement is within the RDN scope of practice and has been performed for nearly two decades.
  • RDN involvement in SBFT placement offers potential benefits to institutions and patients.
  • The review covers essential aspects for establishing and evaluating RDN-led SBFT programs.

Conclusions:

  • RDNs are qualified to place SBFTs, enhancing their professional roles.
  • Successful RDN-led SBFT programs require careful planning regarding institutional fit and patient needs.
  • Further assessment of clinical and institutional outcomes is crucial for RDN-led SBFT initiatives.
