Enteral (Naso-Gastric Tube – Jejunum or Duodenum) Feeding and Management
What Is Enteral Feeding ?
Enteral feeding is the delivery of nutrients directly into the digestive tract via a tube. This method is used when a patient is unable to consume food by mouth due to conditions like neurological disorders, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), or critical illness. There are various types of enteral feeding, depending on the placement of the tube, and one common approach is through the Naso-Gastric Tube (NGT), which can feed directly into the stomach (gastric), jejunum, or duodenum.
