Abstract
In patients with normal gastrointestinal functions, enteral nutrition is safe, efficious and inexpensive. The knowledge of enteral products and the correct selection of application techniques are important for a successful therapy. Long-term enteral nutrition of different subgroups of patients is possible by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Many complications may be avoided by changing the modalities of application.
