What is Orogastric Gavage Feeding in Infants about?
1) Enteral feedings through nasogastric or orogastric tubes, also called gavage feedings, are used to provide nutrition to infants and children unable to eat adequately due to medical issues while preserving stomach function. 2) Tubes are usually placed through the nose and can remain in place for up to 30 days depending on the material. 3) The only contraindication for enteral tube feeding is a non-functioning gastrointestinal tract.
