Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi. I have patient who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on 6/13 - he has been readmitted to the hospital due to an abscess and is now intubated. He had a duotube placed into the small bowel. I have reviewed past postings on this site for tube feeding, but was still wondering what everyone else was using as a formula. I have read that an elemental formula is not necessary, and Osmolite/Jevity would be appropritate. Is this the consensus? Any advice would be greatly apprecitated. Feel free to e-mail me personally with your response. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
