What is the evidence for using tap water vs sterile water to flush feeding tubes?

The type of feeding tube seems to determine whether water or sterile water should be used.

Below are several results from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) database, which includes “selected clinical topics in evidence based recommended practices, evidence summaries, best practice information sheets, systematic reviews, and more.” You should have access to JBI and to the documents below using your Healthcare ID and password.

• Nasoenteric Tube Feeding
• Enteral Tube Feeding
• Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy: Tube Blockage

For additional results, access JBI and search for feeding tube and limit to the types of evidence you seek.
