Leading article Colonic responses to enteral tube feeding
Enteral feeding has become an invaluable treatment in both the hospital and home setting. However, it is not without complications, the commonest of which is diarrhoea. This occurs in up to 25% of patients on general wards and 63% of patients on intensive care units. 5 Diarrhoea not only limits the eYcacy of enteral feeding, but also adds to potential complications, distresses both patients and...

متن کاملColonic secretory effect in response to enteral feeding in humans.
Diarrhoea complicating enteral feeding is a common clinical problem affecting up to 25% of patients. Its pathogenesis remains unknown. A new technique of human in vivo segmental colonic perfusion was used to investigate colonic water and electrolyte movement in response to enteral feeding. Four groups of studies were performed in which low and high load polymeric enteral diet infusions were und...

Alterations in the colonic microbiota have been identified in patients receiving enteral tube feeding and these changes may be associated with the ...
