Collection: Enteral Feeding

Enteral feeding is a medical nutritional intervention that involves delivering a nutritionally complete liquid diet directly into the gastrointestinal tract, typically through a tube. This method is often utilized for patients who are unable to consume food orally due to various medical conditions, such as neurological disorders, head or neck cancers, or swallowing difficulties. Enteral feeding can be administered via different routes, including nasogastric, gastrostomy, or jejunostomy tubes, depending on the patient's needs and the expected duration of feeding. It provides essential nutrients, hydration, and medications, ensuring that patients receive adequate nutrition, which is crucial for recovery and maintaining health. Proper management and monitoring of enteral feeding are vital to prevent complications and to tailor the regimen to meet individual dietary needs.
