than NG, cannot suction, only used for giving meds or feed or flush, easier to place, nurses cannot
place)
less expensive
preserves function of the gut
help prevent relocation of gut bacteria- can trigger MODS if bacteria moves
OG vs NG vs keofeed vs G tube
fewer complications than parenteral feeds


parenteral feedings
IV, PICC line, central venous, TPN, cannot be in peripheral IV- higher risk for infection
bypasses GI tract
only when unable to give enteral (can trigger MODS)
