Enteral tube feeding is the standard nutritional support modality for patients with a functioning gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the largest immune organ in the body containing 65 per cent of the body's overall immune tissue and upto 80 per cent of its immunoglobulin producing cells. Enteral nutrition is the preferred method of nutritional support as gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) attributes upto 60 per cent of total body immunity and enteral nutrition promotes mucosal viability and immunologic function.
