“…The principal application of this technique is in intestinal decompression in patients with obstructive symptoms or paralytic ileus (3,4). Flexible tubes are also placed into the gastrointestinal tract for various other diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, including alimentation with liquefied food (5)(6)(7), hypotonic duodenography, enteroclysis, gastrointestinal secretory tests, and mucosal biopsy (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”

“…It is in conditions such as this that tube feeding provides the answer. There are now available small non‐irritating plastic tubes (1) which can be readily passed into the upper gastro‐intestinal tract and kept in place for long periods of time. Techniques have been devised for passing tubes in those who cannot or will not cooperate in swallowing.…”

“…Since these early reports, enteral tube feeding has evolved to encompass modern nasogastric feeding using fine polyethylene tubes,3 nasojejunal tubes, and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and radiologically inserted gastrostomy techniques 4–6. These improvements, alongside the development of wide ranges of nutritional formulae and enteral feed pump systems have ensured that enteral nutrition is an effective intervention across disease spectrums.…”
