According to a study published in BMC Pediatrics, delays in achieving full enteral nutrition can impact a person's health outcomes, highlighting its importance in medical care.

This specialized care ensures that individuals with a functioning gastrointestinal tract receive adequate calories and fluids to meet their metabolic demands.
