Enteral Tube Feeding Calculations. As a guide 20 drops of standard feed is approximately 1ml. Oral nasogastric oral nasoduodenal oral nasojejunal peg g tube j tube metabolic support services assess and treat enteral protocol feeding orders begin vital 1 5 calorie 30 ml hr. Multiply the rate by the number of drops per ml from the gravity feeding bag package. Please select route.
Connect the giving set to the enteral tube connector at the end of the enteral tube. Open the roller clamp and set the flow rate by counting the drops per minute. Example one rate 50 ml hr of formula gravity feeding bag tubing package states 8 drops ml example two rate 30 ml hr of breast milk gravity feeding bag tubing package states 14 drops ml x. To determine the rate divide the total volume of tube feeding by 24 hours 3. To calculate how much formula is needed divide the total calorie needs. 2 certain patients eg malnourished or morbidly obese may have different caloric requirements than the standard patient.
