Enteral feeding is a method of providing nutrition directly to the stomach or intestines through a tube. This approach is often used for individuals who cannot eat by mouth due to medical conditions, surgeries, or other health issues. The feeding can be delivered continuously or in scheduled doses, depending on the patient's needs. There are various types of enteral feeding tubes, such as nasogastric tubes, which are inserted through the nose into the stomach, and gastrostomy tubes, which are placed directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. Enteral feeding ensures that patients receive essential nutrients, helping to maintain their health and support recovery.
