4CPS-232 Analysis of oral medication prescription and administration through the jejunostomy or the nasogastric tube in an intensive care unit: how to improve patient’s hospitalisation?

摘要

In an intensive care unit (ICU), patients are frequently unable to take oral tablets and capsules due to invasive ventilation or sedation. Therefore medications are administered by nasogastric tube or jejunostomy. Moreover, it is to be expected that massive resection of the gastrointestinal tract will have consequences on the absorption of orally administered medication. Few data or guidelines are available to help physicians and nurses to prescribe and administer drugs to these patients.
