ENTERAL READY TO USE adult

The 1 litre presentations became non-standard in order to optimise the supply and simplify the NFOS list.

Definition

Enteral Nutrition is the administration of nutritionally complete food (containing‌ proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins adapted to the patient's needs), directly into the stomach, duodenum or jejunum. It is administered through a nasogastric or nasoenteral tube, with or without a pump (by gravity).

Enteral nutrition products are intended for patients over 14 years of age who are unable to swallow (drinks - oral route - are intended for patients able to swallow). Ready-to-use enteral nutrition products should not be used for oral nutrition (drinks), as their taste is not suitable for oral nutrition (disgusting).

Remark: Ready-to-use products are in liquid form, "ready-to-hang". When possible, it is preferable to use powder (NFOSDEAAHPFV8) rather than ready-to-use products, as it is cheaper and versatile (can be used for oral and enteral nutrition, and can be reconstituted to different concentrations). The powder also has a longer shelf life.

Specifications

Ready-to-use‌ enteral nutrition products can be used as a complete diet or as a nutritional supplement for tube feeding only.

There are different types of ready-to-use‌ enteral products for adults:

  • Depending on the calorie intake:
    • ​isocaloric: 1 kcal/ml (NFOSENIA+++ codes), for patients without high energy requirements, who are not undernourished or at risk of undernutrition (in the initial phase of re-feeding), or with renal failure.
    • hypercaloric: 1.5kcal/ml (NFOSENHA+++ codes), for patients with high energy requirements
  • Depending on the proteins content and form:
    • ​Normo-protein: 15% of total energy (NP in the code)
    • High-protein: >20% total energy (HP in the code), for patients in a state of hypercatabolism and severe catabolism (burnt patients or in case of major surgery or trauma)
    • Semi-elemental: with hydrolysed or partially hydrolysed proteins (pre-digested), for patients with gastrointestinal pathology (NFOERIASE+++ codes)
  • Depending on the presence (F in the code) or absence (W in the code) of fibres

Technical specifications

Enteral nutrition products are generally lactose-free and gluten-free.
