What are the key differences between enteral and parenteral nutrition, and how do these differences impact patient outcomes?
Enteral nutrition involves feeding through the digestive tract, while parenteral nutrition is delivered intravenously. Enteral nutrition is preferred when possible as it maintains gut function and reduces infection risk. Parenteral nutrition is used when the digestive tract cannot be used. Patient outcomes are generally better with enteral nutrition due to its ability to maintain gut health and function.

What are the disadvtanges of using small-bore tubes over large-bore tubes in enteral feeding?
Due to its small lumen diameter, small-bored tubes are more likely to be clogged by medicatoins or thick enteral nutrition formulations.
Do you get fed when you are in a coma?
Yes, individuals in a coma are typically fed through a medical process called enteral feeding, which involves delivering nutrition directly into the stomach via a feeding tube. This ensures that they receive the necessary nutrients and hydration, as they are unable to eat or drink on their own. In some cases, intravenous (IV) nutrition may be provided if enteral feeding is not feasible. Care teams closely monitor their nutritional needs during this time.
How do you feed a comatose patient?
Can be by Enteral feeding (NGT feeding , PEG or PEJ)
