[Enteral nutrition by tube in burn patients].
The authors report a year's experience off artificial feeding (A.F.) in the Regional Burns Centre of Marseille. 28 patients have benefited from an A.F. of longer than 10 days. It consisted of four cases of parenteral feeding, six cases of enteric feeding and eighteen cases of combined parenteral and enteric feeding. The efficiency of the techniques of A.F. is demonstrated by the results: a weight loss greater than 10% was observed in only three patients. However, the phenomena of digestive intolerance in this type of patient is a significant limiting factor in tubal feeding.
