The early institution of enteral nutrition is now accepted as the preferred route of feeding in critically ill patients with a functioning gastrointestinal tract. It is particularly important to establish early enteral nutrition in mechanically ventilated patients because of the metabolic demands associated with mechanical ventilation. The options for enteral access in mechanically ventilated patients are reviewed, with an emphasis on those techniques that may be performed at the bedside. The advantages, disadvantages, and complications of the different techniques will be considered.
