GEDSA’s Survey Results Series:

Did you know that 50% of feeding tube users administer medications through 60mL syringes? Additionally, when asked what size syringes they’d need to administer medications, 50% said they need 60mL syringes. This highlights a potential safety concern, as the survey also revealed that only 11% of doses exceed 20mL. So, often very large syringes are being used to administer very small doses.

This insight is part of GEDSA’s Enteral Medication Administration Consumer Survey Series, developed in collaboration with The Oley Foundation. Each week, we’re sharing real-world perspectives from patients and caregivers to help inform education, improve safety, and support better access to ENFit® medication administration items.

Stay tuned every Wednesday as we highlight more key survey findings.

GEDSA’s Survey Results Series:

Did you know that despite getting medications from their local pharmacy, just 5% of feeding tube users get their enteral medication syringes through their local pharmacy? Most users rely on getting their syringes while inpatient, through online resources, or from their DME/Tube Feeding Supplier.

Each week, we’re sharing real-world perspectives from patients and caregivers to help inform education, improve safety, and support better access to ENFit® medication administration items.
