Oligomeric Formulas in Surgery: A Delphi and Consensus Study

Nutritional management of patients with intestinal failure often includes the use oligomeric formulas. Implementing formulas in surgical maldigestion or malabsorption could be a nutritional strategy to included clinical protocols. We aim generate knowledge from survey focused on effectiveness therapy Delphi methodology. Each statement that reached an agreement consensus among participants was defined as median score ≥7 and interquartile range ≤3. The patients, starting enteral nutrition post-operative phase short bowel syndrome nonspecific diarrhea after procedures, improve implementation. Stakeholders agreed early jejunal formula is more effective compared intravenous fluid it useful undergoing upper gastro-intestinal tract major surgery when suspected. Finally, may feeding tube placed distally duodenum. This study shows practical approach disorders malabsorption, helps clinicians decision-making process.
