These options cater to diverse patient needs to provide optimal nutrition and adherence in support of better patient outcomes.
The Role of Enteral Nutrition Formulas in Patient Care
Enteral Nutrition (EN), or tube feeding, plays a vital role in patient care as a valuable nutritional strategy. It provides essential nutrients directly into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, ensuring adequate nourishment for patients who are unable to meet their nutritional needs through oral intake alone. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals with impaired swallowing, GI disorders, critically ill or undergoing surgery, and for those with malnutrition. By delivering a balanced and tailored nutrition solution, enteral nutrition helps support optimal growth, assist healing, and maintain overall well-being.
