Intermittent and Continuous Enteral Nutrition in Critically Ill Dogs: A Prospective Randomized Trial

Abstract: Background: Malnutrition is a common problem in critically ill dogs and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in human medicine. Enteral nutrition (EN) delivery methods have been evaluated in humans to determine which is most effective in achieving caloric goals. Objectives: To compare continuous infusion and intermittent bolus feeding of EN in dogs admitted to a critical care unit. Animals: Fifty‐four dogs admitted to the critical care unit and requiring nutritional support with a nasoenteri… Show more

“…In this small retrospective study, a difference between NE and NG feeding tubes was not detected for any of the complications recorded (ie, vomiting/ regurgitation, diarrhea, epistaxis, clogged tube, early displacement/removal, aspiration pneumonia, hyperglycemia). Rates of these complications (5/46 [11%] for vomiting/regurgitation and 4/46 [9%] for diarrhea) are either similar to or lower than those previously reported (10–30% for vomiting/regurgitation and 10–26% for diarrhea) . Vomiting/regurgitation and diarrhea were considered to be complications only if they had not been present prior to initiating tube feedings, and it was not possible to retrospectively determine if these clinical signs were exacerbated by EN.…”

Therefore, the current study may have underestimated potential adverse effects on gastrointestinal signs.…”

“…However, enteral feeding when fed as a CRI or with intermittent boluses has been found to be well tolerated in dogs [3, 9, 10]. In the present study, intermittent bolus feeding also allowed for patients to be cared for outside of the hospital setting which resulted in shorter hospitalization times and reduced costs to the owners.…”
