Despite its valuable benefits, it has many complications among which diarrhea is the most important. However, the incidence of enteral nutrition-related diarrhea is variable in the literature, with no established baseline in Jordan. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of enteral nutrition-related diarrhea in intensive care units of a major public hospital in Jordan. A prospective cohort design was adopted over 4 months. Using a consecutive sampling technique, 84 critically ill patients receiving enteral nutrition were recruited. King's Stool Chart was used. The incidence of enteral nutrition-related diarrhea calculated per patient and per feeding day was 63.1% and 13.2%, respectively. Significant positive associations were found between the incidence of diarrhea with feeding days (r = .356, p = .001) and intensive care unit length of stay (r = .254, p = .020). The same was found for the frequency of diarrhea (r = .633, p = .000; r = .439, p = .000, respectively). Conversely, a significant negative association was found between baseline serum albumin and frequency of diarrhea (r = -.250, p = .037). Enteral nutrition-related diarrhea is prevalent in Jordanian intensive care units, but it should not be a barrier to enteral nutrition delivery. It would be beneficial for intensive care unit nurses to improve their nutritional practices by following a nurse-led enteral nutrition protocol to guide the enteral nutrition practices utilizing multidisciplinary approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":12666,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology Nursing","volume":"47 4","pages":"242-249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141859508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cannabis consumption may have significant implications for outcomes related to medical care, including procedural sedation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether self-reported cannabis consumption has any relationship to sedation medication requirements during endoscopic procedures. A retrospective analysis was conducted to examine two groups of surgical patients (self-reported cannabis use versus self-reported non-cannabis use) at a community hospital in the mid-Atlantic region. Results demonstrate that there were no significant differences between groups for either Time to Aldrete ≥8 (p = .486) or Time to Meet Phase II Criteria (p = .762). Equivalent recovery times for both groups may be an indicator that comparable sedation levels were maintained, despite the increased propofol requirements of the cannabis group. Open conversations to establish patient use of cannabis products prior to procedural sedation is important for determining appropriate plans of care related to risk factors and medication dosage requirements during endoscopic evaluations.</p>","PeriodicalId":12666,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology Nursing","volume":"47 4","pages":"286-290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141859535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
