We count with specialized personnel in handling and nutritional calculation depending the feeding method that is required to be used, as well as the experience in placing the nutritional accesses (through a special I.V. or digestive tract).

Nutrition routes

• Enteral Nutrition: It’s the gold standard for being the natural feeding route. Food ingestion can be oral, gastric or to any portion of the small intestine. Being much closer to stomach as possible, it will have a greater capacity in digestion and food absorption. This route promotes the stimulus for the production of anti-bodies against infections. Placement of the special probes can be done by open surgery, laparoscopy or endoscopy according to the patient’s needs.
• Parenteral Nutrition: This type of feeding provides the nutrients required in those patients who cannot be fed by some portion of the digestive tract or that the amount on foods administered by digestive tract are not sufficient. This is the preferred route in patients with serious abdominal conditions, i.e., intra-abdominal sepsis and pancreatitis.
• Mixed Nutrition: Ideal in patients who are in recovery after a serious stage which conditioned them in a significant protein-calorie loss and as temporary stage in the removal of a parenteral nutrition route and the beginning of an enteral nutrition rout.
