Tube feeding

Early matters

 

More than 40 years experience in tube feeding

Fresenius’ first enteral nutrition product was developed in 1975 in Bad Homburg (central Germany). Since then, Fresenius Kabi has become an internationally recognised expert in clinical nutrition, providing enteral nutrition products to patients in more than 100 countries.
Four decades of continuous research and development in close collaboration with healthcare professionals across the world have produced a sophisticated portfolio that meets patients’ needs in accordance with their conditions, diseases and ages. Ongoing development and innovation regularly lead to product updates and entirely new product concepts based on the latest scientific findings and technological advances.

Timely feeding matters

Starting enteral nutrition early helps to achieve nutritional targets and to avoid energy and protein deficits.

Benefits of timely enteral tube feeding:

  • Increases nutritional intake: 62 % of total energy in hospitalized patients vs. routine care1 and more than 2.5 times of protein
    vs. oral intake/non-intervention group2
  • A good nutritional status
  • Attenuates loss of body weight and lean tissue in hospitalised patients1
  • Can support the wound healing process of the body1
  • Can aid to improve the immune function1
  • Helps to reduce infectious complications, sepsis, wound and urinary tract infections1,3
  • Could give the possibility to reduce medications for some patient groups1
  • Leads to fewer and shorter hospital admission4
  • Reduces mortality rate of hospitalized patients (-12 %)1
  • Can help to improve clinical outcomes in community patients1

Perioperative nutrition should be considered to maintain a good nutritional status – not at least to be able to avoid postoperative complications but also to trigger positive effects on the general well-being of the patient.1
