Abstract
AbstractEnteric access is the main method to obtain nutrition in patients with normally functioning gastrointestinal tract who are otherwise unable to feed orally. Enteric access can be obtained through the nose, mouth, or skin by a nurse, general practitioner, endoscopist, interventional radiologist, or a surgeon. In this article, we review the different types of feeding tubes, indications, contraindications, and potential complications.
