Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Enteral feeding (TEN) is the preferred method for hospitalized patients requiring nutrition support. However, real and perceived barriers to implementation exist, with gastrointestinal (GI) intolerance being the most common. The purpose of this article is to identify common GI obstacles to effective TEN and to review current practices of TEN delivery and evidence to support such practices. The article reviews the GI anatomy and physiology that affect TEN practices and also identifies related evidence on the most common GI barriers limiting effective TEN delivery. Suggested solutions are provided.
