PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tube-feeding nutrient capable of preventing esophageal regurgitation and dumping syndrome, capable of being administered at desired viscosity in a short time without imparting unpleasant feeling to a patient and a nurse, and capable of being prepared safely and easily, to provide a tube-feeding nutrient set, and to provide a method for administering the tube-feeding nutrient.SOLUTION: A tube-feeding nutrient fed into the interior of the digestive tract through a tube-shaped material, and having viscous shape enables the nutrient to be precisely stored in the digestive tract and gradually moved from the mouth side to the anus side even when a large amount of the nutrient is administered once to prevent esophageal regurgitation and dumping syndrome because the nutrient has a viscous shape and the viscosity is high, and to reduce the administering time of the nutrient considerably. As a result, the condition of the patient can be brought near to that of a healthy person, and daily live action and rehabilitation training can be carried out comfortably. Further the QOL of the patient and the QOL of the nurse or a nursing person can also be improved simultaneously.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】食道逆流やダンピング症候群を防ぐことができ、患者や看護人に不快感を与えることなく所望の粘度でかつ短時間で投与することができ、しかも安全かつ容易に調製することができる経管栄養剤、経管栄養剤セットおよび経管栄養剤の投与方法を提供する。【解決手段】管状材を通して消化管内に供給される栄養剤であって、栄養剤が、粘体状である。栄養剤が粘体状でありその粘度が高いから、一度に大量の栄養剤を投与しても、栄養剤が消化管内に確実に貯留され、徐々に口側から肛門側に向けて移動されるので、胃食道逆流やダンピング症候群を防ぐことができ、栄養剤の投与時間を大幅に短くすることができる。患者の状態を健常者の状態に近づけることができ、日常生活動作やリハビリ訓練を無理なく行うことができ、患者のQOL、および看護や介護をする人のQOLも同時に向上させることができる。【選択図】図1
