Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding01:15

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

1.9K
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.
Nasointestinal Feeding
Nasointestinal feeding involves placing a tube...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

673
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Nursing Ethical Principles II

2.7K
Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's...

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

2.8K
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...

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

442
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Cancer Prevention

8.7K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.
Some...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Malnutrition is common in cancer patients, especially with head/neck or GI cancers, older age, and advanced disease.
  • It stems from disease burden, treatment, hospitalization, and overlooked symptoms, causing poor surgical results, complications, mortality, and higher costs.
  • Nutritional status is a modifiable perioperative risk factor often neglected.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of preoperative nutritional assessment and intervention in cancer patients.
  • To highlight the benefits of early identification and management of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and cachexia.
  • To advocate for the integration of established tools and the Nutritional Care Process in perioperative care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on malnutrition in cancer patients.
  • Emphasis on comprehensive preoperative nutritional screening and assessment.
  • Application of the Nutritional Care Process for intervention.

Main Results:

  • Malnutrition leads to poor surgical outcomes, increased complications, mortality, and healthcare costs.
  • Early nutritional intervention can mitigate these negative effects.
  • Optimized nutritional status improves surgical recovery and quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive preoperative nutritional screening, assessment, and intervention are essential for cancer patients.
  • Early management of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and cachexia optimizes surgical recovery.
  • Addressing nutritional status improves quality of life and overall cancer outcomes.
