Enteral nutrition or enteral feeding is defined as delivery of proteins, minerals, and other essential nutritional products directly into the stomach of a patient with the help of tubes. Enteral feeding is usually required in patients having difficulty to swallow food through the mouth due to certain disability or disorder, or during hospital stay, or other factors. Enteral feeding is done using different tubes, depending on the condition and type of the patient; the health care providers decide on the best route for insertion of enteral feeding tubes into the body of the patient. Enteral feeding is usually a common practice among neonates and infants as they are unable to swallow food on their own. It is also used for pediatric as well as adult patients owing to chronic disease conditions, trauma, or other health factors. Enteral feeding tubes are available in different sizes, depending on the feed volume and the type of patient they are required for. Size of enteral feeding tubes ranges from 4FG to 24FG. Manufacturers also use different color codes for these devices, so as to make them easily identifiable and avoid their misconnection with parenteral feeding tubes.
