ABSTRACT
Enteral nutrition is a form of nutritional support that is continually growing and expanding, and within this area especially the enteral preparations or formulae. The object of the present is to analyze the evolution of the commercially available nutritionally complete enteral preparations between 1988 and 1997, illustrating the variations that have occurred both from the quantitative and form the qualitative points of view. A progressive increase is seen in the absolute number of available enteral formulae, with the increase in both polymeric formulae with dietary fiber, and that of formulae designed for specific diseases being significant (p < 0.05). The standard polymeric formulae and the oligomeric formulae decrease, but not in a significant manner. There is a special discussion or the characteristic and the usefulness of the polymeric formulae with dietary fiber ad the formulae designed especially for specific diseases. The clinical efficacy of most of these special formulae is controversial, with there not being sufficient objective clinical evidence at present that justifies their routine use.
