Dietetics is the science and art of feeding individuals based on principles of nutrition.
The Dietetics Department focuses on improving health through personalized nutrition guidance and diet management. Dietitians, as healthcare professionals, are specifically trained to assess, implement, and guide dietary changes for individuals or populations, addressing various health conditions and lifestyle needs. Our goal is to improve overall health and support sustainable, healthy habits.
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is the assessment of a client’s nutritional status followed by personalized nutrition therapy. This ranges from diet modification to specialized nutrition support, such as enteral or parenteral nutrition, with ongoing monitoring to evaluate the patient’s progress.
MNT begins with the assessment of a patient’s nutritional status in cases of conditions, illnesses, or injuries that put them at nutritional risk. This involves reviewing and analyzing:
Based on this assessment, a tailored nutrition care plan is developed to manage the condition or treat the illness or injury. MNT also includes implementing the care plan, monitoring progress, and evaluating the achievement of desired clinical outcomes
Enteral Nutrition (EN) refers to the provision of nutrition through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This can involve oral ingestion of food or the use of feeding tubes to deliver nutrition directly into the GI tract. EN can be administered through several routes: Transoral: Oral ingestion of food or liquid feeds Transnasal: Feeding tubes inserted through the nose (e.g., nasogastric feeding) Percutaneous routes: Feeding tubes placed directly into the stomach (gastrostomy) or small intestine (jejunostomy or percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy, PEJ) Because of its method of delivery, EN is often referred to as “tube feeding.”
Provides nutrition when oral intake is inadequate or impossible Allows accurate monitoring of nutritional intake Preserves gut integrity and motility Attenuates the stress response Is relatively easy to access and administer “
It can be provided only to prospective candidates of elective surgery and is not feasible for emergency cases.
