    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Nutrition

    Background:

    • Enteral nutrition is preferred for patients with functional gastrointestinal tracts.
    • Various techniques exist for establishing enteral access.
    • Selection criteria include duration of support, aspiration risk, and local expertise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review methods for obtaining enteral access.
    • To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Laparotomy, laparoscopy, fluoroscopy, and endoscopy are used for tube placement.
    • Tubes can be placed in the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum.
    • Nasogastric and nasoenteric tubes are suitable for short-term use.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Nasogastric/nasoenteric tubes are for short-term (<6 weeks) nutritional support.
    • Longer-term support (>6 weeks) may necessitate more permanent enteral access tubes.
    • The choice of method depends on clinical factors and patient needs.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimal enteral access depends on individual patient factors and anticipated support duration.
    • A thorough understanding of available techniques is crucial for effective nutrition support.
    • This review provides insights into the advantages and disadvantages of different enteral access methods.
