ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to evaluate the conditions of use of medicines in patients receiving enteral nutrition at units of University Hospital. The data collection was done using a structured questionnaire, based on patient's clinical files and observation of the nurse aides' routine in the period between January and April of 2009. Results demonstrated that 16.7 percent of the patients needed a feeding tube replacement because of obstructions. Approximately 52 percent of prescribed medicines were in solid form and at least eight medicines administered via feeding tube were recognized to be capable of drug-nutrient interaction in enteral feeding and affected at least one patient each. A conclusion can be drawn that there were prescription errors and inadequacy in techniques of administration of medicines to patients using probes of enteral nutrition.
RESUMEN
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo describir el perfil general de utilización de fármacos en pacientes que usan una sonda de nutrición enteral en un hospital universitario. La recolección de información fue hecha por medio de un formulario estructurado a partir de las fichas clínicas de pacientes internados en el hospital y de la observación de la rutina de los auxiliares de enfermería, en el periodo de enero a abril de 2009. Los resultados demuestran que 16,7 por ciento de los pacientes necesitaron cambio de catéter para nutrición enteral, debido a obstrucción. Aproximadamente 52,0 por ciento de los medicamentos prescritos estaban en la forma farmacéutica sólida y por lo menos ocho medicamentos administrados por sonda fueron reconocidos como capaces de provocar interacción fármaco-nutrición enteral, afectando por lo menos a un paciente. Se concluye que hay errores en la medicación y en las técnicas de administración de medicamentos para la sonda enteral.
