List and describe four examples of complications associated with enteral feedings
Enteral feeding is not a simple procedure. Patients who receive enteral feedings may experience a variety of complications, and some of these—such as aspiration or tube misplacement—are serious. Complications of enteral feedings may develop at any point during a course of therapy. High-risk patients who have concurrent illnesses require an experienced dietitian to successfully manage enteral feedings. Information about the tube-related and gastrointestinal complications, as well as other issues, can be found in the section Monitoring and Evaluation: Complications.
