Evaluation of semi-solidified enteral nutrient feedback to dysphasia rehabilitation

在管饲肠内营养吞咽困难（吞咽困难）患者有并发症的风险，如腹泻和/或误吸由于胃食管反流。作为一种解决方案，“半固化营养（增稠剂和/或凝固剂添加到肠内营养）”已被提供给临床领域。本研究对自制半固化肠内营养液的物理和流变学性质进行了评价，结果发现，由于肠内营养液和凝固剂中多糖增稠剂和矿物质的协同/拮抗作用，自制半固化肠内营养液的物理和流变学性质发生了显著变化。

In tube feeding enteral nutrition on dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) patients has a risk of complications such as diarrhea and/or aspiration due to gastroesophageal reflux. As a solution, "semi-solidified nutrition (thickeners and/or coagulant add into enteral nutrient)" have been provided at the clinical field. In this study, we evaluated the physical and rheological properties of self-prepared semi-solidified nutrition for the purpose of feedback to the clinical care and rehabilitation.As a result, we found that the physical and rheological properties of the self-prepared semi-solidified enteral nutrient changed drastically by the synergetic / antagonistic action of polysaccharide thickeners and minerals, contained in the both enteral nutrient and coagulants.
