Tube feeding, also known as enteral nutrition, involves delivering liquid nutrition directly into the stomach or intestines through a tube. This method is used for individuals who cannot consume food orally due to medical conditions such as swallowing difficulties, neurological disorders, or severe illness. The feedings typically consist of a balanced mixture of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals tailored to meet the patient's nutritional needs. Tube feeding can be administered continuously or in bolus doses, depending on the patient's condition and treatment plan.
