Meanings of enteral tube feeding in English

Rapid identification of these patients is necessary to establish early enteral tube feeding.

Background: Little is known about the risk to patients' health when using home-prepared enteral tube feeding.

Objective: To develop and validate a prognostic model predicting swallowing recovery and the need for enteral tube feeding.

This knowledge may help clinicians to identify patients at risk of prolonged swallowing problems that would benefit from enteral tube feeding.

After informed consent participants are randomly allocated to standard care with intravenous rehydration or early enteral tube feeding in addition to standard care.

Small observational studies indicate that enteral tube feeding may have the ability to effectively treat dehydration and malnutrition and alleviate nausea and vomiting symptoms.

However, specific lesions of the anterior insula lead to severe impairment and tube dependency and clinicians might consider early enteral tube feeding in these patients.

Considering the hygiene criteria, the home-prepared enteral tube feedings did not differ significantly.
