This video provides an introduction to postpyloric feeding tubes, which are sometimes called intestinal feeding tubes.

You will learn about when a postpyloric feeding tube should be used, and the advantages and disadvantages of intestinal tube feeding.

Gastric feeding is preferred because it most closely aligns with normal digestion. However, it's not always feasible to do!
