| Safer Enteral Feeding |
| Feed + Decompress + Monitor + Refeed Aspirate |
| |
We devised an automatic feeding-decompression regimen that provides the maximum tolerated early enteral nutrition, while avoiding "feeding intolerance" and “overfeeding.” All swallowed air is evacuated efficiently, without wasting digestive juices.
|
|
| |
We aspirate a segment of intestine immediately proximal to the feeding site. Peristaltic outflow from this site is monitored every
30 seconds, relative to inflow. Only excess fluid is removed permanently. Any accumulation is immediately sensed and corrected, amounting to a total of ~100-200ml/day. |
