Enteral nutrition.
This review summarizes research studies published in recent years that are useful for clinicians considering the enteral route as a means of nutritional support for their patients. In this period, there has been a move away from emphasis on what nutrients are given to a more considered appraisal of how nutrients are provided. Thus, the technical aspects of enteral feeding have been refined, enabling a greater number of patients to be fed safely and effectively using the enteral route.
