..This article aims to provide a practical overview of feeding solutions and administration to enable nursing staff to understand prescribed regimens and provide patients with optimum care...

OBJECTIVES: Experience with pediatric home-based enteral nutrition (HEN), in particular series including children only, has been reported only rarely. We investigated the evolution of pediatric HEN activity during an 11-year period...

..We conclude that although feeding tubes do not completely prevent pneumonia, there is an immediate decrease in the incidence of pneumonia following tube placement...

..39 and postplacement was 0.42 (P < .001). DPEJ placement appears to decrease recurrent aspiration pneumonia in patients with history of aspiration pneumonia...

..The insertion of DPEJ did not change the nutritional management of enteral feeding. However, long-term effects or complications remain to be evaluated in larger studies...

..These complications will be reviewed, along with a discussion of incidence, cause, treatment, and prevention approaches...

..It is recommended that health care professionals implement interventions focused on minimizing uncertainty...

..NG tube feeding, in fact, reduced the nutritional status (in terms of the serum albumin level) of the patients...

..Both direct seeding and hematogenous spread have been suggested as possible mechanisms. This article outlines the incidence, presentation, pathogenesis, and management of PEG-site metastases...

..A standardized approach to optimizing benefits and minimizing risks with enteral nutrition delivery will help clinicians identify patients who would benefit from small bowel feeding.

..No appropriate designated RV level to identify aspiration could be derived as a result of poor sensitivity over a wide range of RV. Study results do not support the conventional use of RV as a marker for the risk of aspiration...

..Generally, there was little high quality evidence to support practice recommendations leaving significant scope for further research by nurses in the management of patients with enteral tubes...

..05). CONCLUSIONS: Infants who had ward reduction do better in terms of avoiding GA/ventilation, establishing feeds, and going home earlier. A randomized, controlled trial comparing the 2 approaches is feasible, safe, and worthwhile...

..Part 2 will discuss some of the current areas of controversy/debate, including the use of syringes, water type, feed hanging times and confirmation of nasogastric tube position in patients on acid reducing therapy...

..Although initially more invasive than IGJ, SJ may provide more stable feeding access with fewer complications. This represents the first published report comparing long-term outcomes between IGJ and SJ...

..A solution to this problem will require focused attention and development of specific protocols, possibly using new technologies...

OBJECTIVE: The widespread use of long-term enteral nutrition and the substantive costs dictate a need to study outcome, clinical and epidemiological characteristics of these patients...

..Each approach, however, still is associated with a significant complication rate. A randomized prospective study comparing these 2 approaches is needed...

..At the time of resection of periampullary tumors, GJT insertion should be considered, especially given this is a patient population in which weight loss and cachexia are frequent...

..We present here three representative cases of negative surgical abdominal cavity explorations for presumed peritonitis after percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy and jejunostomy...

..With the expected increase of elderly people with dementia, a great change in doctors' knowledge, attitudes, and practice is necessary to prevent even greater numbers of patients receiving this futile treatment...

..047). CONCLUSION: Older age, poor nutritional status and presence of bedsores were predictors of poor outcome. Younger age and preserved renal function were significant predictors of weaning off PEG feeding...

..CONCLUSIONS: Families' high expectations of benefit from tube feeding are in contrast to clinical outcomes. Providers and families need better information about the outcomes of this common procedure...

..As the total number of adult patients requiring a PEG after VP shunt placement is low, multicenter studies should be carried out to better stratify this risk...

..CONCLUSIONS: Providing complimentary oral nutritional supplementation significantly decreases weight loss and the need for PEG tube placement in patients undergoing radiation therapy for oropharyngeal cancer...

..INTERPRETATION: Early tube feeding might reduce case fatality, but at the expense of increasing the proportion surviving with poor outcome. Our data do not support a policy of early initiation of PEG feeding in dysphagic stroke patients...
