Sažetak
Nowadays, an increasing attention is given to the nutrition of patients, to whom nutrition is part of the therapy. The newest data indicate that some 20-30% of hospitalized patients are undernourished, regardless of the cause of their ailment. The malnutrition most frequently results from the metabolic stress brought about by the underlying disorder, but also could be consequence of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, of complex surgical procedures and possible post-operative complications. Enteral nutrition is indicated in patients which cannot meet their nutritional needs through food intake, or in patients with difficult catabolic conditions or serious malnutrition. It is applied using gastric, duodenum, or jejunum tube. Nutritional as well as energy value of enteral solutions is adjusted to the general clinical condition of the patient. In Clinical hospital Osijek, enteral nutrition makes 0.8-1% of prepared food rations. Most patients are in the Neurosurgery department (33%), Maxilofacial surgery department (22%), and the Oncology and radiotherapy department (14%). Considering a growing number of commercially available enteral nutrition formulations, both nutritionists and physicians of the hospital advocate their introduction as standards in enteral feeding. Their advantage is accuracy in both qualitative and quantitative composition, but their price is also four times higher compared to hospital’s own formulations.
