| Article Title: | Nocturnal tube feedings |
| Abstract: | Nutritional management of severely ill patients can be approached in several ways. Tube feeding may be the only way to ensure adequate nutrition, or it may be used to supplement inadequate oral intake. In many hospitals, tube feedings are administered only during daytime or evening hours. The potential uses of nocturnal administration are reviewed. Experience of 200 patients with and without cancer using this technique are presented. © 1987 Springer-Verlag New York Inc. |
