ENTERAL READY TO USE, Child

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 via a nasogastric or nasoenteral tube, either by gravity or with a pump.

Enteral nutrition products are intended for children up to 14 years of age who are unable to swallow. Oral drinks (oral route) are intended for patients who can swallow. Ready-to-use enteral nutrition products should not be consumed orally, as their taste is not suitable for oral nutrition (disgusting).

Specifications

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

There are different types of ready-to-use‌ enteral products for children, classified according to several criteria:

  • Based on calories intake:
    • ​isocaloric: 1 kcal/ml (NFOSENIC+++ codes), for children without high energy requirements, who are not undernourished or at risk of undernutrition (e.g., in the initial phase of re-feeding), or for those without hypercatabolic or hypermetabolic state.
    • hypercaloric: 1.5 kcal/ml (NFOSERHC+++ codes), for children with high energy requirements, those who are malnourished, or those in a hypercatabolic state (e.g., burn patients).
  • Based on proteins form:
    • Most enteral nutrition products for children are normo-protein (NP in the code), with proteins providing 8-10% of total energy
    • Semi-elemental forms contain hydrolysed or partially hydrolysed (pre-digested) proteins (NFOSERICSE+++ codes)
  • Based on fibre content:
    • Products may contain fibre (F in the code) or no fibre (W in the code)

Technical specifications

Enteral nutrition products are generally lactose free and gluten free.

Remarks:

  • Semi-elemental products are higher in proteins (11-12% of total energy): 2.8-3 g/100 ml. The powder formualtion (NFOSDEICSEWV4) (peptamen junior) has a longer shelf life, is less expensive and versatile (suitable for both oral and enteral nutrition). Check with your supply centre if it is available before placing any orders.
  • Only standard articles are listed. Contact your pharmacist or nutrition referent if you need the code of a non-standard article (e.g. isocal with fibres, hypercal without fibre...).
