- Abstract
Home enteral nutrition therapy is a recent phenomenon and is growing because of the increasing life expectancy. It is offered to patients in the Unified Health System, but the provision of nutritional supplements and enteral feeding is not guaranteed by this system. Home care aims to provide humane care and provides better quality of life for sick individuals by promoting health education with relatives and caregivers. Group of nutritionists of public and private hospitals in the Unified Health System and Home Care Services in the city of Campinas-SP, Brazil, discussed enteral nutrition prescribed in hospitals to standardize non- industrialized enteral feeding for hospital discharge, aimed at the selection of formulas that meet nutritional needs with lower cost compared to industrialized, ease of preparation and orientation favoring high and home nutritional counseling. Seven diets were standardized, prepared simulating the household situation and sent for chemical analysis to determine their chemical composition. Calculations from food composition tables were compared to the results of chemical analysis. From the results obtained, adjustments in diet will be performed and this protocol will be released in hospitals of the city and region.
