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.
