    Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)·1999

    Rapid nasogastric feeding with isotonic, polymeric solutions is safe for patients needing nutritional support. Most patients tolerated the fast introduction, with few experiencing symptoms, allowing earlier energy intake.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Gastroenterology
    • Patient Care

    Background:

    • Enteral nutrition is crucial for patients unable to consume food orally.
    • Nasogastric feeding is a common route for enteral nutrition delivery.
    • The rate of initiating nasogastric feeding can impact patient tolerance and outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the safety and tolerance of slow versus rapid introduction of nasogastric feeding.
    • To evaluate the incidence of symptoms associated with different nasogastric feeding initiation protocols.
    • To determine if rapid feeding initiation can accelerate energy delivery in patients requiring nutritional support.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 50 patients requiring enteral nutritional support.
    • Comparison of a slow, conventional four-day feeding introduction method versus a rapid method.

  • Monitoring and recording of symptoms related to feeding intolerance for both protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • 82% of patients exhibited no symptoms of intolerance regardless of the introduction method.
    • Only four patients developed symptoms potentially linked to the feeding regimen.
    • Of those with symptoms, only one patient was in the rapid introduction group.

    Conclusions:

    • Undiluted isotonic, lactose-free nasoenteric solutions can be safely administered rapidly.
    • Rapid introduction of nasogastric feeding allows for earlier achievement of energy requirements.
    • This approach offers a safe and effective strategy for initiating enteral nutrition.
