	Feeding tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gastric feeding tube, or "G-tube", is a tube inserted through a small incision in the abdomen into the stomach and is used for long-term enteral nutrition.
		Feeding through these tubes are generally commercially prepared to provide adequate nutrition and to not result in clogging when used with a pump or with drip feedings.
		Actively withdrawing an existing feeding tube is considered by some to be a form of active euthanasia, while deciding not to place one could be considered passive euthanasia.

	Postgraduate Medicine: Tube feeding in the elderly
		The decision to initiate tube feeding is made by the healthcare provider after a detailed discussion with the patient or surrogate (in the case of a cognitively impaired patient).
		Feeding tubes are classified as nasogastric, nasojejunal, gastrostomy (ie, percutaneous, surgical, or radiologic), or jejunostomy (ie, percutaneous or surgical).
		Feeding tubes should be flushed with at least 30 to 60 mL of water after administration of medications, to prevent clogging (5,8-10,19).

	Stylet device for guiding an enteral feeding tube - Patent 5658253
		The present invention is an improved stylet for a enteric or nasoenteric feeding tubes.
		To determine whether the tip of the feeding tube is properly positioned, the physician usually uses X-ray or other methods such as aspiration of gastric contents, called "residuals." It is conventional to remove the stylet after the tubing has been inserted into the patient.
		Feeding tubes in accordance with known techniques, and of known designs and materials may be used.

		Breast feeding for less than eight months was associated with a significantly increased risk for two or more hospital, doctor, or clinic visits or hospital admissions because of wheezing lower respiratory illnesses.
		A detailed history of feeding practices was obtained in 59 children with autoimmune thyroid disease, their 76 healthy siblings, and 54 healthy nonrelated control children.
		The frequency of feedings with soy-based milk formulas in early life was significantly higher in children with autoimmune thyroid disease (prevalence 31%) as compared with their siblings (prevalence 12%), and healthy nonrelated control children (prevalence 13%).

	Consultant Pharmacist: January 1999 \| Administering Medications via Feeding Tubes
		The exact number of patients receiving tube feedings in long-term care is not available; however, a 1992 estimate reported about 150,000 patients and this number is growing with the aging population.
		The guidelines for use of tube feeding (also called enteral nutrition) include patients in whom oral feedings are not possible or are inadequate to maintain their nutritional status.
		Knowledge of the medications, feeding tube characteristics, nutritional formulas, and specific procedures of the nursing staff are needed as well as the medical history of the patient.

	2. Impact Assessment: Methane Emissions
		The methane yield is known to be influenced by feed quality and level of feeding, and generally ranges from 4.0 to 9.0 percent, with values of 6.0 percent being typical for many feeding situations around the world.
		Enteric fermentation emissions for cattle are estimated by first estimating emissions factors per head from the characteristics defined above, and then by multiplying the emissions factors by the relevant cattle populations.
		To estimate the quantity of manure produced by cattle, the feed characteristics (intake and digestibility) used to estimate emissions from enteric fermentation were used to estimate the quantity of manure produced on a dry matter equivalent basis.

		There is little reason to expect that any colorant of enteral feedings would be a sensitive method to detect early aspiration due to alterations in color with interaction with the tube feeding solution and gastric contents.

		It has been used for patients in coma, although enteric (tube) feeding is usually adequate, and less prone to complications.
		Feeding schedules vary, but a normal regimen ramps up the nutrition over a few bours, levels off the rate for a few hours, and then ramps it down over few more hours, in order to simulate a normal set of meal times.

	Feeding to Enhance Swine Health
		A large epidemiological study, designed to assess the risk of several factors related to nursery pig enteric disease, indicated that restricting feed intake was the most important risk factor linked to increased amounts of enteric disease in the nursery (Figure 2).
		In an attempt to stimulate feeding behavior, large amounts of the first diet are placed in the feeding pan.
		As the pigs become more accustomed to the location of the feed and adjust feeding behavior, the amount of feed in the feeding pan should be decreased rapidly to 25% or less coverage.

		Subsequent analysis revealed that post-operative enteric feeding in patients undergoing temporary abdominal wall closure delayed definitive treatment yet did not seem to affect overall survival.
		The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of enteric feeding on the timing of permanent closure in the management of ACS.
		A retrospective chart review was conducted to collect data concerning patient demographics, diagnosis, perioperative events, type of final closure, length of stay, complications, and operative mortality (OM); use of enteric feeding while the temporary closure was in place was also carefully noted as well as the role of total parenteral nutrition.

		This primary aim of the trial was to assess the effect of oral versus nasal placement of feeding tubes on the incidence of apnea and periodic breathing in preterm infants.

		Force-feeding is the practice of feeding someone against his or her will, for example a prisoner, to prevent them dying as part of a hunger strike.
		The term may also be used to refer to enteric feeding generally, where a patient is intubated through the nose or mouth and fed because he or she is incapable of swallowing due to some medical condition, rather than because he or she refuses to eat.
		The intended result is a rapid onset of obesity, and the practice may start at a young age and continue over a period of years.

		When the need for enteral feeding is anticipated to be 30 days or shorter, feedings through a nasogastric tube or a more distal nasoenteric tube are usually appropriate.
		Depending on the patient's risk of aspiration with tube feedings, the placement of a tube into the small bowel (by means of either gastrojejunostomy or direct jejunostomy) may be preferred to direct gastrostomy tube placement.
		Compared with nasogastric feeding, nasojejunal feeding is desirable and associated with a greater number of administered calories and a lower risk of pneumonia.

	Issue 36 - April 3, 2006: Tubing misconnections—a persistent and potentially deadly occurrence \| Joint Commission
		The types of tubes and catheters involved in the cases reported to the Joint Commission included central intravenous catheters, peripheral intravenous catheters, nasogastric feeding tubes, percutaneous enteric feeding tubes, peritoneal dialysis catheters, tracheostomy cuff inflation tubes, and automatic blood pressure cuff insufflation tubes.
		Other identified causes include the routine use of tubes or catheters for unintended purposes, such as using IV extension tubing for epidurals, irrigation, drains, and central lines, or to extend enteric feeding tubes; and the positioning of functionally dissimilar tubes used in patient care in close proximity to one another.
		In addition, Joseph emphasizes that the single most important work practice solution for clinicians is to trace all lines back to their origin before connecting or disconnecting any devices or infusions.
