[The new portable system for home enteral nutrition, Portermate, made a patient possible go out for a long time: report of a case].
The patient, who is received home enteral nutrition (HEN) for a long time in a day, has problems on moving all days. Now, we tried Portermate, which is new portable devices for HEN, in his clinical care. The patient is chronic pancreatitis, and his clinical problems becomes to be worse after he ate. He was under total enteral nutrition via jejunostomy. His clinical complications were almost controlled after HEN, but he has a few complains receiving enteral nutrition. He would not move easily, for an old HEN system was not compact to move. Portermate made him go everywhere he wanted any time. It extremely improved his QOL under HEN. He continues to use Portermate.
