_____________________________________
This video provides you with a step-by-step process for calculating tube feedings for an adult using the bolus method.
You will see how I teach interns to estimated nutrient needs, select a tube feeding formula, calculate the bolus volume, and select free water flushes for before and after each bolus.
There is even a case study!
Remember, tube feeding is also called enteral nutrition.
Bolus feeding is very similar to the intermittent feeding method.
The major difference is that bolus feeding is administered over a very short period (i.e. 2 minutes) whereas intermittent feeding is administered over a longer period (i.e. 1 hour).
