10 Ιουν 2011 · Abstract. Enteral feeding (or ‘tube feeding’) is a very common inpatient intervention to maintain nutritional status where the oral route is inadequate, unsafe or inaccessible. A proportion of patients will need to continue tube feeding in the community after their admission and will require a gastrostomy tube.

The stomach connects the esophagus to the small intestine, and acts as an important reservoir for food, prior to delivery to the small intestine.
Enteral nutrition (EN) refers to any method of feeding that uses the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to deliver nutrition. It can include a normal oral diet, the use of liquid supplements, or the delivery of nutrients through the GI tract using a tube, catheter or stoma (aka tube feeding)
Tube feeding is nutrition provided through the GI tract via a tube, catheter, or a surgically made hole into the GI tract. As previously mentioned, it is the preferred method of feeding when patients are unable to eat enough calories on their own.
