Features and Benefits


This diet contains:
-High fiber content to enhance gastrointestinal motility. The primary source of fiber is cellulose, a relatively gentle source of fiber that will not irritate the already hypersensitive gastrointestinal tract of the critically ill herbivore.
-All essential amino acids, making protein more easily absorbable
-High levels of arginine and glutamine to meet the needs of the debilitated patient
-A highly digestible, easily absorbable blend of fats and simple carbohydrates for energy
-Balanced omega 3:6 polyunsaturated fatty acids
-Dietary nucleotides to provide DNA and RNA precursors

WARNING: 

Emeraid has been scientifically designed for extremely high digestibility. Avoid contamination. Handle product carefully. Keep dry. Use a clean, dry scoop. Do not cross contaminate with scoops used with non-EmerAid foods. Contamination can cause harmful bacterial growth.

-The 400 g (3.5 oz) pouch and 2 kg (5 lb) tub come with a red scoop that has both large (1 tablespoon) and small (1 teaspoon) ends. Use the smaller end of the scoop to prepare a relatively small volume of formula. To prepare larger volumes of EmerAid, fill the large end of the scoop with powder.
-Measure level scoops, and do not pack the powder. Shake dry powder to facilitate mixing.
-Mix one part powder to one part hot water measuring 122°F (50°C).
-Stir the mixture until smooth
-Use a syringe to draw up the mixture. To minimize any risk of the tube plugging, do not load the feeding or gavage tube with formula until immediately before tube feeding.
-When mixed as directed, this product will pass through a 18-gauge stainless steel feeding needle and 5-French red rubber catheters.
-Feed your patient immediately whenever possible, and always within 30 minutes of food preparation.
-Keep the gavage tube and syringe in very warm water 103-105°F (39-41°C) until ready to feed.
