Sponsor activities
The activities below are listed in chronological order.
Nestlé sponsor lecture: No Tube, no Tube feeding
Thursday, 1 September, from 12:00-12:20 hrs. in session OP02 on Patient Safety and Quality improvement
Speaker: Mariël Klos
Summary: Many critically ill patients depend on gastric or jejunal feeding tubes to receive an adequate amount of nutrients and fluids. Unfortunately, in practice there appear to be all kinds of obstacles that prevent the patient from getting the amount of tube feeding he needs, like gastric retention, blocked feeding tubes and dislodged feeding tubes. Nurses play a vital role in the care for feeding tubes. They can make a real difference by properly securing tubes, timely noticing the patients discomfort with the tube, act appropriately in the event of high gastric residual volumes and by unclogging blocked tubes. Good nursing care is essential for successful clinical nutrition.
