Enteral nutrition in Acute Pancreatitis: Nasogastric or nasojejunal?

(p<0.0001). Conclusion: Nasogastric feeding is well tolerated in the majority (73.7%) of patients with severe AP. NG feeding should be first line, but if failing a rapid change to the NJ route instituted. Take-home message: Need for nutritional support is a poor prognostic indicator and although nasogastric feed is well tolerated but over 20% of patients still require nasojejunal feeding
