The needs of patients requiring home enteral tube feeding

Christine A Russell et al. Prof Nurse. 2002 Apr.

Abstract

A report by the British Artificial Nutrition Survey of the British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition has highlighted the needs of patients using home enteral tube feeding. Many are frail and elderly and require careful discharge planning from hospital and co-ordinated, multidisciplinary care in nursing homes or their own homes on return to the community.
