Las preguntas sobre si se debe o no proporcionar nutrici\u00f3n e hidrataci\u00f3n artificiales (NHA) son algunas de las m\u00e1s comunes y angustiantes para los cuidadores. Cuando un miembro de la familia se enferma y ya no puede comer, las familias a menudo se enfrentan a una decisi\u00f3n dif\u00edcil sobre si deben o no proporcionar nutrici\u00f3n artificial a su ser querido. A continuaci\u00f3n se encuentran algunas respuestas a preguntas comunes que las familias suelen tener sobre este complicado tema.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la hidrataci\u00f3n y nutrici\u00f3n artificial?<\/h2>\n

Si bien existen muchos tipos diferentes de AHN, existen algunas caracter\u00edsticas comunes a todos ellos. Siempre en forma l\u00edquida, toda AHN se compone de diversas cantidades de agua, prote\u00ednas, az\u00facares, vitaminas y minerales. La cantidad de cada uno de estos ingredientes depende de la condici\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y las necesidades del paciente.<\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo se da?<\/h2>\n

La AHN se administra con mayor frecuencia directamente en el est\u00f3mago o en una vena. Si un paciente no puede tragar, hay dos formas de llevar este l\u00edquido al est\u00f3mago: a trav\u00e9s de un tubo largo y flexible que se pasa desde la nariz o la boca, o a trav\u00e9s de un peque\u00f1o tubo que se coloca directamente en el est\u00f3mago.<\/p>\n

\u00bfExisten riesgos al proporcionar hidrataci\u00f3n y nutrici\u00f3n artificiales?<\/h2>\n

Si bien proporcionar l\u00edquidos y otros nutrientes a los pacientes gravemente enfermos puede ayudarlos, tambi\u00e9n puede causar problemas. A veces, cuando las personas est\u00e1n muy enfermas, los ri\u00f1ones funcionan menos o se apagan por completo, por lo que es posible que el cuerpo no pueda eliminar el l\u00edquido. En estos casos, si a un paciente se le administran l\u00edquidos artificiales, las piernas y los brazos pueden hincharse, lo que puede resultar inc\u00f3modo. El l\u00edquido tambi\u00e9n puede acumularse en los pulmones y dificultar que el cuerpo obtenga el ox\u00edgeno que necesita.<\/p>\n

\u00bfSi no le doy hidrataci\u00f3n y nutrici\u00f3n artificial a mi familiar, lo estoy matando? \u00bfEst\u00e1n muriendo de hambre?<\/h2>\n

No. Siempre es importante recordar que los pacientes que no pueden comer lo suficiente durante un per\u00edodo prolongado est\u00e1n muy enfermos. No proporcionar AHN es simplemente permitir que el proceso de la enfermedad subyacente ocurra de forma natural. Los estudios demuestran que los pacientes gravemente enfermos que no reciben AHN no sufren m\u00e1s, no sienten ni se quejan de hambre y, de hecho, pueden tener una muerte m\u00e1s pac\u00edfica que las personas que reciben fluidos artificiales.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
