Nutrition and hydration in the terminal patient.

J C Ahronheim1.   

Abstract

Artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH) may be provided parenterally or enterally. Hydration alone can be provided intravenously (vein) or subcutaneously (hypodermocylsis). This article explores the medical myths surrounding ANH, especially the enteral route ("tube feeding"), and discusses alternative approaches.
