Managing Tube Feeding Intolerance in the Home

Tube feeding intolerance can lead to gastrointestinal upset, resulting in inadequate nutrition, fluid and electrolyte disturbances, a decreased sense of well-being, emotional distress for the patient and caregiver and a higher risk for patient morbidity and mortality.   Gastrointestinal complications that develop during tube feeding delivery in the home should be promptly addressed to avert these negative sequelae.   This program presented on October 18, 2018 reviews potential contributors to intolerance and strategies to help improve tube feeding tolerance for the home care patient.
