Can enteral nutrition suspension be heated?

Enteral nutrition suspension can be used after slight heating. Enteral nutrition suspension is rich in substances needed by the human body, such as protein hydrolysis products, vitamins, fats, etc. If the heating temperature is not well controlled, the nutrients in it may be destroyed, so that its utilization rate is reduced. In addition, enteral nutrition suspension is ingested in a special way, contacting the human body’s mouth, pharynx and esophagus. If the temperature at the time of delivery is high and the cooling buffer time of the liquid is not enough, it may directly stimulate the stomach, duodenum or small intestine, thus causing mucosal damage. Therefore, it is recommended that enteral nutrition suspension be used at room temperature. If the room temperature is low in cold weather, it can be warmed up with a thermostatic heater under the operation of professional personnel before use. Enteral Nutrition Suspension should be used for special populations under the operation of medical professionals, and it is not recommended for patients to operate on their own to avoid adverse consequences.
