Background/Aims: This study was conducted to establish a guideline on the utilizing of feeding pump in patients requiring enteral tube feeding. Methods: As a first step, textbooks on nutrition and guidelines from regional clinical nutrition societies were analyzed. Afterwards, data on the efficacy, safety, and practicality of feeding pump application were collected and evaluated by systematically reviewing the related literature. As data sources, 8 domestic databases including KoreaMed and global databases such as Ovid-MEDLINE, Ovid-EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were utilized. A total of 2,016 related articles was selected by applying the keyword “(enteral feeding.mp AND pump.mp)”. Results: Textbooks and guidelines were not able to draw conclusions on the effects of the feeding pump because the injection speed, tube size, and etcetera were different for enteral feeding. Feeding pump assisted enteral tube feeding was an efficient, safe, and practical procedure for reducing maladjustment-related complications of enteral tube feeding, which are obvious obstacles for maintaining nutritional balances in patients requiring tube feeding. Conclusions: Feeding pump application can be considered an efficient and safe measure that is acceptable in patients on small intestinal tube feeding, critically-ill patients on gastro-intestinal tube feeding, premature babies, and critically-ill or severely malnourished children (recommendation grade D).
