What is the Enteral Formula?

Enteral Formula is a special liquid food composition of nutrients like protein, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals that deliver nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract through a tube, bypassing the oral cavity. This can be done through a variety of methods, including nasogastric, nasoenteric, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy tubes supplied through a feeding tube into the body, which helps prevent malnutrition. Enteral nutrition is typically used when a person cannot consume food or drink orally due to medical reasons such as gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, or neurological disorders. It is also used in cases where the person has a high nutritional requirement but is unable to consume enough nutrients through oral intake.

FAQ's

Frequently asked questions

  • Check the expiry date of your formula. Unopened cans of formula can be stored at room temperature for long periods of time
  • Cover open cans of formula and store them in the refrigerator between feedings. Do not use any open, unused cans of formula after 24 hours

These feeds contain all the carbohydrate, protein, fat, water, electrolytes, micronutrients (vitamins and trace elements) and fibre required by a stable patient.

These contain nitrogen as short peptides or free amino acids and aim to improve nutrient absorption in the presence of pancreatic insufficiency or inflammatory bowel disease. The fibre content of these feeds is variable and some are supplemented with vitamin K, which may interact with other medications.
Nutrients such as glutamine, arginine and essential omega-3 fatty acids are able to modulate immune function. Enteral immunonutrition may decrease major infectious complications and length of hospital stay in surgical and some critically ill patients.

  • Re-feeding syndrome occurs in previously malnourished patients who are fed with high carbohydrate loads.
  • Carbohydrates (eg, glucose) in the feed can cause a large increase in the circulating insulin level. This results in a rapid and dramatic fall in phosphate, potassium and magnesium - with an increasing extracellular fluid (ECF) volume.
  • As the body tries to switch from catabolic (starvation mode) to using exogenous fuel sources, there is an increase in oxygen consumption, increased respiratory and cardiac workload (may precipitate acute heart failure and tachypnoea and make weaning from a ventilator difficult). Demand for nutrients and oxygen may outstrip supply. Both of the above can lead to multiple organ failure; respiratory and/or cardiac failure, arrhythmias, rhabdomyolysis, seizures or coma, red cell and/or leukocyte dysfunction.
  • The gut may have undergone some atrophy with starvation and, with the return of enteral feeding, there may be intolerance to the feed, with nausea and diarrhoea.
  • Feeds should be started slowly and the electrolytes closely monitored and adequately replaced to avoid these problems developing.
