Enteral tube feeding

MUDr. Milana Šachlová CSc. et Ph.D

If a patient has a functioning gut but is unable or unwilling to eat sufficient to meet his/her nutrional needs, various options of enteral

feeding can be considered. Feeding solutions should be introduces to the gastrointestinal tract at the point where it is possible to absorb

them. Enteral feeding methods are more physiological and costly than parenteral feedings. Adequate nutrition support may improve

nutrition status and quality of life, decrease morbidity and in some cases may even lower mortality.

Keywords: enteral nutrition, tube feeding.
