Aspiration Pneumonia
The Effect of Continuous Versus Enteral Pump Feeding in Aspiration in Tube Fed Patients
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.

- NCT00164957
- Testing
- continuous pump feeding, intermittent bolus feeding
