Summary

Background:

Tube feeding had been found to be a cause of aspiration pneumonia. Continuous pump feeding at slower rates as compared to bolus feeding may be less associated with aspiration pneumonia.

Methods:

Randomized controlled trial

Subjects:

Patients expected to remain on tube feeding for 4 or more weeks

Outcomes:

1\) pneumonia, 2) mortality

Conditions
