Enteral and Parental Nutrition

Possess knowledge in several domains taught in previous classes: Biochemistry, Pathology, Clinical Dietetics I, II, III and Pharmacotherapy

Teaching and learning will be based on theoretical/practical classes with exposition of themes and elaboration of protocols for nutritional assessment and monitoring, analysis and discussion of articles, practical classes will be essentially clinical case resolution, clinical cases will be presented in a hospital context. resolved and discussed.

at the end the student must:

1- Know when and how to establish enteral and parenteral nutritional support, know how to perform nutritional assessment as well as prepare EN and NP protocols and perform nutritional calculations adapted to the various pathologies related to EN and PN and be sure of the benefit of nutritional therapy in improving of the patient’s health status in each pathology or in several associated pathologies

2- Know the contraindications of EN and PN, and recognize the most appropriate access routes for each patient

3- Mastering the knowledge of all existing formulas on the market for both NE and NP

4- Know the most current guidelines that allow you to prepare nutritional calculations adapted and balanced in the various pathologies and make more sustained decisions

5- Know well the nutrient drug interaction, in order to intervene in complications

6- Counting and transforming nutritional needs taking into account the pathology or pathologies in a personalized food plan adapted to each patient

7- Provide students with solid scientific knowledge in the area of ​​dietetics and nutrition

8- Develop skills to work in multidisciplinary teams

9- Knowing how to monitor all nutritional support

10- Develop an analytical and interpretive posture, stimulating criticism and self-criticism based on solid scientific knowledge, as well as proposing to execute and implement nutritional assessment protocols;

a-How to establish an enteral and parenteral Nutritional Support, advantages and disadvantages; indications contraindications and complications
