Abstract:
Enteral feeding is common in acute and critical care but there are many elements to this practice that are steeped in confusion and lack evidence. This article will focus on verification of feeding tube (FT) placement methods and timing, medication administration by FTs, unnecessary holding or stopping of enteral formula, gastric residual volumes, and volume-based feeding. Supporting evidence for these practices will be reviewed and recommendations made for evidence-based alternatives and possible deimplementation.
