Modular enteral products

There are no disease-specific enteral products currently marketed for use in infants or children from 1 to 10 years of age. The use of modular supplements is often necessary in children with special nutrition needs (see section on modular supplements, below). [Pg.2627]

A module is a powder or liquid allowing addition of nutrients (i.e., protein, carbohydrate, or fat) to supplement a commercially available enteral formulation (Table 138-9). Addition of a modular product may be necessary, especially in children, to achieve a nutrient mix not supplied by a single commercially available product. Alternatively, formulations available in powder or concenbate can be mixed with less water than needed for the standard dilution to deliver more nutrients in less volume. Infant formulas generally are concentrated beyond their standard concentration (standard varies depending on type) in this way. However, keep in mind the mixing process required for modular components increases the potential for introducing bacterial contamination. This problem has been particularly identified with the use of blenders and reconstitution of powders. Human miUc fortifiers are available for supplementation of human miUc so that it meets the needs of a premature infant. Human milk fortifiers add additional calories, protein, and minerals and have been shown to improve nutritional outcomes in human milk-fed premature infants. " ... [Pg.2627]
