“…3,16,24 The BLEND 3 study found that children needed 1.5-fold energy and an adult study showed that 1.2-fold energy was required on BTFs, in comparison to CFs, to sustain growth. 24 A 1.5fold increase is likely needed in children, compared to a 1.2fold increase in adults, as children require more energy to grow. Pentiuk et al 16 found that children receiving BTFs initially lost weight despite intaking similar energy as when they were receiving CFs but met growth goals with close dietetic monitoring (Table 2).…”

Commercially produced complete nutritional formulas (CFs) are commonly delivered to children requiring enteral nutrition via gastrostomy. However, a cultural shift toward consuming a more natural diet consisting of whole foods has caused the use of blenderized tube feeds (BTFs) to grow in popularity among parents and carers in recent years. There are advantages and disadvantages of both BTF and CF use. There is evidence that suggests that BTFs can significantly improve tube-feeding tolerance and reduce gastrointestinal symptoms associated with tube feeding, such as gagging, retching, and constipation, thereby resulting in an improved quality of life (QoL) for enterally fed children and their caregivers. BTFs have also been implicated in increasing the diversity of the gut microbiota in enterally fed children. However, concerns have been raised that BTFs may be inferior to CFs in energy and nutrition sufficiency. Issues such as microbial contamination, tube blockages, and difficulties in preparation and administration may also complicate the use of BTFs. Additionally, like CFs, BTFs can vary significantly in nutrition composition, and dietitian involvement with BTF use is crucial. The current literature on the clinical outcomes of BTF use is limited, and further research is needed before recommendations can be made on BTF use in children. A literature review was conducted to compare clinical outcomes between BTFs and CFs and evaluate the feasibility of BTF use in children.

Nearly half a million individuals in the United States are dependent on enteral nutrition to meet their nutrition needs. Public interest in blenderized tube feeding (BTF) has increased over the past decade; however, medical professionals indicate a lack of knowledge about these products and their effects. The purpose of this review is to analyze clinical outcomes in adults who use a BTF formula as their primary nutrition source. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL using search terms “adult,” “enteral nutrition,” “tube feeding,” “BTF,” blenderized,” “blended,” “homemade,” and “pureed.” Nine studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in the review. Under close monitoring, BTF does not pose a higher risk for deterioration in anthropometric measurements. Furthermore, BTF use is consistently associated with improvements in diarrhea. As such, clinicians should consider the use of these formulas in the acute care or rehabilitation settings. Additional research is needed in patients with diverse clinical backgrounds in free‐living communities. Larger populations sizes and longer intervention time frames are crucial to providing statistically significant results needed to strengthen the quality of evidence on this topic.

“…15 When poor growth has been noted, research has supported that inadequate weight gain was remedied with intervention to include increasing caloric intake and close follow-up from the registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). 12 Two studies have reported the need for increased calorie intake on BTF compared with CEF to maintain a stable body mass index, 18,14 although Gallagher and colleagues also noted an increase in total body fatness using triceps skinfold measurements of children on BTF and suggested that calorie needs may not have been as high as previously thought. 14 Survey results by Johnson and colleagues found that parents of GT-fed children reported meeting growth goals more often with BTF than CEF.…”

The popularity of homemade blenderized tube feeding (HBTF) continues to increase among enteral nutrition (EN) consumers and healthcare providers alike, citing improved feeding tolerance over standard commercial enteral formulas, among other health outcomes. Within the past 5-10 years, there has been a surge in the development of commercial blenderized tube feeding (CBTF) products. CBTF products promote similar benefits from whole foods like those used in HBTF while being a nutritionally-consistent, easy to use, and shelf-stable option for EN consumers. Research is improving but is still limited for HBTF and virtually nonexistent for CBTF products. This review aims to summarize current health outcomes of HBTF, compare HBTF with CBTF, evaluate CBTF products, and provide considerations for future research and practices.

Enteral feeding in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Abstract: There was a slight increase in weight and in pulmonary function in both groups but these results did not differ significantly. Possible formula contamination was confirmed. Furthermore, in the overall assessment, the physician and patients rated both formulas as comparable.
