What Is Enteral Feeding?
Enteral feeding involves delivering liquid nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract through a tube. This method is used when individuals cannot meet their nutritional needs through oral intake due to inadequate oral intake (e.g. from poor appetite) or a physical inability to eat safely (e.g. dysphagia). Enteral feeding can either supplement oral intake or completely replace it.
What Is PEG Feeding?
PEG feeding, or Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy feeding, is a method of delivering nutrition directly into the stomach via a tube, essential for those unable to eat or swallow safely. Inserted via a minimally invasive procedure, the PEG tube supports long-term enteral feeding needs and requires ongoing care to prevent infection, making NDIS PEG feeding training vital for support workers, carers and providers.
