Nutritional Management in the Rehabilitation Setting Monitor oral calorie/protein intake initially and then on a periodic basis to determine the percentage of calories/protein being met by the oral diet. Decrease tube feeding to meet the patient's needs. For example, if the patient is consuming 50% of his or her needs orally, cut the tube feeding in half.

Gastroparesis Treatment Options Certain surgical procedures may be performed to help with some gastroparesis related complications. The introduction of Enterra Therapy by Medtronic is currently the only surgical option actually geared towards helping control nausea and vomiting. In the most extreme cases, a full or partial gastrectomy may be necessary, or when the small bowel is also affected, a multi-visceral (4 or 5 organ) transplant may become the only remaining option.

Overview Parenteral nutrition, often called total parenteral nutrition, is the medical term for infusing a specialized form of food through a vein (intravenously). The goal of the treatment is to correct or prevent malnutrition. Parenteral nutrition provides liquid nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. Some people use parenteral nutrition to supplement feeding through a tube placed into the stomach or small bowel (enteral nutrition), and others use it by itself.

Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) Parenteral nutrition is by definition given IV. Partial parenteral nutrition supplies only part of daily nutritional requirements, supplementing oral intake. Many hospitalized patients are given dextrose or amino acid solutions by this method. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) supplies all daily nutritional requirements. TPN can be used in the hospital or at home. Because TPN solutions are concentrated and can cause thrombosis of peripheral veins, a central venous catheter is usually required. Parenteral nutrition should not be used routinely in patients with an intact GI tract.
