[Tolerance of intraduodenal tube feeding. Prospective studies of the tolerance of a 10-day, continuous intraduodenal administration of a peptide diet and its effects on various serum parameters in healthy subjects].
Filiform nasoduodenal nutrition tubes in connection with portable infusion pumps are now available and by this way continuous enteral nutrition is given to a certain number of patients, thus avoiding expensive parenteral nutrition which demands a great deal of nursing care and bears a greater risk of complications. In order to study the acceptance and effects of this nutrition, 10 healthy persons were fed by the new system with a fiber-free, low molecular peptide diet. The probands had to write a daily protocol and, at the end of the test, had to answer a questionnaire regarding the effectivity and social consequences of the system and their subjective sensations. Before and after the enteral nutrition phase, different serum parameters were also determined. The results show that a continuous intraduodenal nutrition by tube can be achieved outside the clinic allowing to exercise the profession. The general well-being of the probands was moderately disturbed only by the tube whereas the other points from the questionnaire were less disturbing. Regarding the serum parameters only a reduction in the serum potassium was remarkable.
