The number of patients discharged from hospital who need home enteral tube feeding has been increasing steadily in the UK. Arrangements for support of these patients is extremely variable. The unsatisfactory arrangements for home enteral tube feeding which existed in Avon in 1996 prompted an innovative reorganization. On the basis of that experience, this review examines the key issues involved and the questions to be considered, which may be of benefit to other trusts faced with similar challenges.
在英国,出院后需要家庭肠内管饲的患者数量一直在稳步增加。对这些患者的支持安排差异极大。1996年埃文地区存在的家庭肠内管饲安排不尽人意,促使了一次创新性的重组。基于那次经验,本综述探讨了其中涉及的关键问题以及需要考虑的问题,这可能对面临类似挑战的其他信托机构有益。
