“…Utilizing the gastrointestinal system for feeding, when possible, is also important. Although parenteral nutrition should be considered if an animal has insufficient gastrointestinal function, enteral nutrition is considered to be the preferred route of feeding as it not only provides calories but also helps to maintain gastrointestinal structure and function . As such, enteral nutrition should always be the first choice for providing nutritional support.…”

Objetivo Verificar a adequação das áreas de produção e o nível de contaminação microbiana de dietas enterais utilizadas em três hospitais privados da Região Noroeste do Paraná. Métodos A análise das Boas Práticas de Preparação da Nutrição Enteral seguiu a Resolução da Diretoria Colegiada nº 63/2000, da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária, e as análises microbiológicas das 15 amostras de dietas enterais seguiram as recomendações da Resolução da Diretoria Colegiada nº 12/2001, da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária, nas quais foram pesquisados bolores e leveduras, bactérias mesófilas, coliformes a 35 e 45ºC, Estafilococos coagulase positiva, Salmonella sp. e Bacillus cereus. Resultados A maior porcentagem para as Não Conformidades foi do hospital HS (61%) e a menor do hospital HT (43,5%). Foi observada, em 100% das amostras dos hospitais HP e HT, contaminação por coliformes a 45ºC acima do padrão de referência da Resolução da Diretoria Colegiada nº 12/2001 e 60% das amostras do hospital HS apresentaram contaminação por coliformes a 35ºC acima do limite aceitável. As amostras encontravam-se dentro dos padrões para Estafilococos coagulase positiva, Salmonella sp., Bacillus cereus e bactérias mesófilas. Nos hospitais HT e HP a contaminação por bolores e leveduras estava acima do padrão permitido pela legislação. Os resultados das análises mostraram que a contaminação das dietas está relacionada ao tipo de ingrediente utilizado e ao excesso de manipulação. Nutri3.pmd 13/3/2008, 15:37 29

“…Selection of the optimal type of feeding tube depends upon a variety of factors, including expected duration of need, gastrointestinal function, whether anesthesia or surgery is planned, and available facilities/equipment for tube placement. Nasoesophageal (NE) and nasogastric (NG) tubes both have been recommended for short‐term EN support . These tubes have the benefit of not requiring anesthesia for placement, compared to esophagostomy, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy tubes.…”

“…Enteral feeding tubes are frequently placed in animals to provide assisted nutritional support; however, one major reported complication is clogging of the tubes . Common causes of feeding tube occlusion are inadequate tube flushing, improperly administered medications, and accumulation of diet within the feeding tube lumen.…”

“…Common causes of feeding tube occlusion are inadequate tube flushing, improperly administered medications, and accumulation of diet within the feeding tube lumen. Feeding tube material may also affect tube occlusion, with silicone tubes clogging more frequently than polyurethane tubes . Prevention of tube occlusion is ideal; nonetheless, tube occlusion is a complication that must be addressed in clinical practice.…”

“…Various recommendations (eg, carbonated beverage, cranberry juice) have anecdotally been made for unclogging feeding tubes; however, the authors are unaware of any studies demonstrating that these solutions are more effective than water. In studies using human liquid enteral diets, solutions of pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate in water, papain, chymotrypsin, and distilled water have been effective at clog dissolution .…”
