Brief Title: Bolus Pouch Feed Study
Official Title: A Study Evaluating a Newly Designed Nutritional Tube Feeding Pouch for Bolus Feeding in Adults
Study ID: NCT05822557
Brief Summary: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of introducing a new enteral tube feed on health and feeding related quality of life. Secondary aims are to assess ease of use, liking, compliance, gastrointestinal tolerance, nutrient intake, anthropometric changes and safety.
Detailed Description: Bolus enteral tube feeding (termed 'bolus feeding') is an increasingly common method of providing nutritional support to home enterally tube fed (HETF) patients, particularly those who are more active and/or require greater flexibility in their feeding regimen. However, current methods of bolus feeding are complex to administer, messy, may be unhygienic, and require and lead to a significant amount of plastic waste. Therefore, there is a clear need for a simpler and optimised way to provide bolus feeds. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of introducing a new enteral tube feed on health and feeding related quality of life, ease of use, liking, compliance, gastrointestinal tolerance, nutritional intake, anthropometry and safety. This is a prospective, longitudinal, 28-day intervention study with a 7-day baseline period.
