Abstract
Clinical usefulness of Elental. An elemental diet was studied in 23 patients who had undergone oral surgery. The nutrient was administered intragastrically in 6 divided doses daily similar to the administration schedule of a conventional enteral diet. No side effect was observed clinically except diarrhea in 11 patients.
Laboratory data also remained within normal limits. Intragastric divided administration may deliver adequate hyperalimentation if based on a proper administration schedule.
