ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the conduct related to feeding care through gastric tube in neonates hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, from scientific articles published in the last five years. Method: an integrative literature review was developed in the databases: MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, CINAHL and BDENF. The search for the studies was carried out in August 2016, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Results: 33 articles were analyzed. The level of evidence was classified as level IV (30%), level VI (27%), level II (15%), level III (18%), level I, V and VII with 3% each. The analytical categories were: Gastric tubes, their materials and their use in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Nursing care for enteral nutrition through gastric tube in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, From the tube the oral route. The time to reach total enteral nutrition is lower, as is the decrease in length of hospital stay. The largest losses of milk fat are during gastroclysis at the expense of gavage. The relationship of food tolerance to dietary dosage form and volumes is not yet conclusive. Nursing stands out: in favor of the bond with the family, in the physical examination and evaluation, in the positioning, in the non-nutritive suction during the diet, in the oral stimulus, in the observation and conduct regarding the gastric residue. Conclusion: due to the heterogeneity of the data, more randomized and qualitative clinical trials are required to better support the conduct and improvement of nursing care.

We report a case of complete esophageal obstruction caused by continuous enteral nutrition infusion via nasogastric tube. A 77 year old man received mechanical ventilation due to severe pneumonia and severe respiratory distress. He began using enteral nutrition emulsion (TPF) through a nasogastric tube on admission. 15 days later, due to the difficulty of re-inserting the nasogastric tube, endoscopy found a large number of coagulations in the esophagus, resulting in complete esophageal obstruction. We remove a small part of the foreign body with a net basket under gastroscope. After the operation, the nasogastric tube was placed in the middle of the esophagus again, which was perfused with 5% sodium bicarbonate and vinegar through the gastric tube. One week later, the esophagus was completely unobstructed by gastroscopy. A conclusion can be drawn that the precipitation and coagulation of TPF can lead to the whole esophageal obstruction. Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies, sodium bicarbonate and vinegar retention in the esophagus can treat the food obstruction caused by TPF.

Abstract Background: Enteral nutrition is a major pathway of nutrition for patients requiring critical care. However, whether intermittent or continuous feeding is better is not yet known clearly, especially after nasogastric enteral nutrition via gastric tube. Therefore, this randomized controlled clinical study was designed to observe the effects of different methods on critically ill patients.Methods: The different feeding method on gastrointestinal function of critical patients (DFM-GFC) was a randomized, single-blind, clinical study assessing the effects of three feeding methods on critically ill patients. A total of 90 critical patients were equally randomized to three groups: continuous feeding, cycling feeding, and intermittent feeding. The patients were pumped with gastrointestinal nutrition preparation via gastric tube in 24 h or in 16 h via intermittent pump. The primary outcome is the mean duration that reached to the caloric goal in every group. The secondary outcome included the rate of onset of gastric residua, abdominal pressure, the rate of onset pneumonia, and the proportion of individuals achieving the caloric goal. Also, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay and mortality rate at 28 days post-enrollment was evaluated.Discussion: This study observes the effects of different feeding methods on parameters, such as energy target and gastrointestinal motility in critically ill patients, in order to improve the prognosis of, quality of life and reduce the case fatality rate.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04224883.

BackgroundConfusion about how to assess for intolerance to feedings often results in unnecessary feeding interruptions.ObjectivesTo report findings from a national survey of methods used by critical care nurses to assess tolerance to gastric tube feedings and to discuss the findings in light of current enteral nutrition guidelines.MethodsA paper-and-pencil survey was mailed to 1909 members of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. In addition, the same survey was posted online in a newsletter circulated to association members. Results from both surveys were pooled for data analysis.ResultsA total of 2298 responses were obtained; most respondents reported using a combination of methods to assess tolerance to gastric tube feedings (listening for bowel sounds, measuring gastric residual volumes, observing for abdominal distention/discomfort and for nausea and vomiting). More than 97% of the nurses reported measuring gastric residual volumes; the most frequently cited threshold levels for interrupting feedings were 200 mL and 250 mL. About 25% of the nurses reported interrupting feedings for gastric residual volumes of 150 mL or less; only 12.6% of the respondents reported allowing gastric residual volumes of up to 500 mL before interrupting feedings.ConclusionsPractice among the 2298 critical care nurses varied widely. Many of the survey respondents are practicing in ways that can unnecessarily diminish the delivery of calories to patients. Protocols based on current enteral nutrition guidelines must be developed and implemented in practice settings.
