Abstract:
There has been a widespread proliferation of enteral feeding solutions for general and specific therapeutic use. This article reviews the nutrient substrates and physical characteristics of these solutions with consideration to both psychological and clinically-proven principles pertinent to their application. The rationale for the composition and efficacy studies of disease-specific solutions also is presented.
