title: [The trend of nutritional management in a survey of nutrient intake, via gastrostomy, in patients following an acute hospital stay].
abstract: In our hospital, the nutrition support team(NST)deepened relations with the local medical institution for sequential nutritional management following patient discharge. We began to process additional reports about patient nutritional management that could be passed onto any other institute for subsequent nutritional therapy. Three months following discharge, the main method of nutritional management was examined in 109 patients who were discharged between April 2008 and July 2010 and who were receiving the majority of nutrients via gastrostomy. Ten of these patients could feed orally. We choose the best methods at that time according to the patient condition, the medical treatment environment, and the patients' family. A change in those aspects following discharge will lead to a change in nutritional management methods. Observing the current nutritional therapy methods in patients after discharge is beneficial and allows us to produce a summary of this information to send to the local medical institute and to provide guidelines for the most appropriate procedures for nutritional management via gastrostomy.
