Composição nutricional e custo de dietas enterais ofertadas em hospital de médio porte na cidade de Campina Grande - PB.

Abstract

The Enteral Nutrition Therapy (ENT) is indicated when nutrition for herself orally can not meet the nutritional needs of the patient, ie when the mouth can not reach about 70% of the patient’s needs or can not be used due to an complications that impede the passage of food through the digestive tract. The DRC No. 63/2000 assures the classification and technical standards to be followed for enteral nutritional therapy, treating enteral nutrition as food for special purposes, with controlled intake of nutrients, estimated or defined composition and is used via probe or oral, or not industrialized and may replace or supplement the oral feeding in malnourished patients, or in accordance with their needs, by hospitalization, outpatient or home. This study aimed to analyze the nutritional composition and the cost of diets offered to critically ill patients in a medium-sized hospital in the city of Campina Grande-PB, correlating with the benefit offered by them. This is a search where data collection was done in a cut cross-time, which was held at a given time, following a document search model, descriptive and exploratory, analytical and correlation, without there being the interference researcher. craft and standard industrial formulations were analyzed being obtained through the first fresh food and constructed in the hospital. In that matches the nutritional composition of the diets was analyzed observed a discrepancy in the same caloric intake, highlighting the low-calorie profile of craft lie down and may be a factor of major interference in the patient’s recovery, and inadequate amounts of macronutrients and may favor a malnutrition table between other complications. When analyzing the cost of diets, the daily value per patient in the use of craft diet, it is observed that the price obtained for industrialized is 7 times higher. However, they require a greater hand qualifying work and extra energy costs, gas, water and maintenance for the manufacture of diets, a negative effect on the final value.
