Abstract
• Based on overwhelming observational studies as well as consensus, tube feeding (TF) is a means of delivering complete nutrition to those who would otherwise not receive it, thus supporting the best possible growth and development. (Evidence quality B, C, D). (4) • A successful TF program requires input from many clinicians and thoughtful planning and dedication to deliver safe nutrition support. Based primarily on consensus with some observational and cohort studies, a team approach is necessary (Evidence quality C and D). (19)(20) • Based on consensus with the support of some observational studies, the team should always include the patient, the patient's family, and caregivers (Evidence quality C and D). (19)(20).
