| dc.description.abstract | Aims and method To identify the clinical characteristics of patients receiving
nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding under physical restraint. Clinicians participated via
professional networks and subsequent telephone contact. In addition to completing a
survey, participants were invited to submit up to ten case studies.
Results The survey response rate from in-patient units was 100% and 143 case
studies were submitted. An estimated 622 patients received NGT feeding under
restraint in England in 2020–2021. The most common diagnosis was anorexia
nervosa (68.5–75.7%), with depression, anxiety and autism spectrum disorder the
most frequent comorbidities. Patients receiving the intervention ranged from 11 to 60
years in age (mean 19.02 years). There was wide variation in duration of use, from
once to daily for 312 weeks (mode 1 week; mean 29.1 weeks, s.d. = 50.8 weeks).
Clinical implications NGT feeding under restraint is not uncommon in England,
with variation in implementation. Further research is needed to understand how the
high comorbidity and complexity contribute to initiation and termination of the | en |
