“…NG feeding tubes are often used in patients who have a functioning gastrointestinal tract but are unable to eat or swallow normally, such as those with neurological or muscular disorders ( 20 ). NJ tubes may be associated with a higher risk of complications such as dislodgement ( 21 ), migration ( 22 ), or bowel perforation ( 23 ), while nasogastric tubes may be associated with a higher risk of aspiration ( 24 ) or reflux ( 25 ). NJ feeding tubes may be preferred in ICU patients who have impaired gastric function or are at risk of aspiration, as they allow for direct delivery of nutrition to the small intestine and bypass the stomach ( 26 ).…”
