Comparison of nutritional effectiveness and complication rate between early nasojejunal and nasogastric tube feeding in patients with an intracerebral hemorrhage

Validating nasogastric tube placement with pH testing: A randomized controlled trial protocol

“…It has shown better clinical outcomes when started early [ 16 ], promoting better wound healing [ 17 ], improved modulation of the inflammatory response [ 18 ], prevention of intestinal atrophy [ 19 ], reduction of complications, and decreased mortality [ 20 , 21 ].
