Expert consensus on home enteral nutrition care for cancer patients
The incidence rate of malnutrition in cancer patients is high.Standardized and effective nutrition treatment is conducive to improving the quality of life of patients,shortening the length of hospital stay,and improving the survival rate.Home enteral nutrition is an important extension of in-hospital nutrition support,and should be considered if the type and quantity of nutrients consumed by patients are less than a week or longer.In the process of implementing enteral nutrition at home,patients often experience energy failure or interruption of enteral nutrition due to insufficient nutrient intake or serious complications.Therefore,timely and professional guidance and monitoring are particularly important,such as the use of enteral nutrition access equipment,the use and storage of enteral nutrition preparations,and the identification and management of complications.This article takes the latest guidelines on home enteral nutrition management at home and abroad as a reference,searches for various studies published in recent years such as randomized controlled trials,systematic evaluations,and meta-analyses,and combines clinical experience to summarize and recommend the best care mode,screening and evaluation,program implementation,nutrition education,and other aspects of home enteral nutrition care for cancer patients,providing a basis for the standardization and standardization of clinical nursing.
