Enteral Nutrition Interruptions in ICU Patients: Mechanisms and Nursing Interventions

A scoping review synthesizing evidence from 29 studies on enteral nutrition interruptions in intensive care units. The review, authored by Quanquan He and published on figshare in May 2026, analyzes interruption causes, clinical impacts, and the effectiveness of precision nursing interventions.

Use Cases

• Identify primary causes of feeding interruptions based on reported percentages for procedural, gastrointestinal, and tube-related factors.
• Assess the clinical impact of interruptions based on reported associations with nutritional inadequacy and mortality risk.
• Evaluate the efficacy of nursing interventions based on reported improvements in energy and protein target achievement.

Strengths

• Includes quantitative findings from 29 studies, providing a structured evidence base.
• Reports specific percentages for interruption causes (e.g., 63.4% procedural) and intervention outcomes (e.g., target achievement improved from 26.9% to 57.0%).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 20.6 KB document summarizing a review; raw data or column-level details are unavailable.
• Row count and data structure are unknown, limiting direct analytical use.
• The description is specific to the review's findings; generalizability to other contexts may be limited.
