Enteral hydration is the process of providing fluids directly into the gastrointestinal tract through a tube. This method is often used when patients are unable to consume fluids orally due to conditions such as dysphagia, neurological disorders, or severe illness. It involves the use of feeding tubes, such as nasogastric (NG) tubes, gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes), or jejunostomy tubes (J-tubes).
