Post pyloric feeding through a nasojejunal tube allows for early enteral nutrition without increasing the risk of pancreatic stimulation in patients with acute pancreatitis, compared to total parenteral nutrition. A randomized controlled trial found no significant differences in major outcomes between post pyloric enteral nutrition and total parenteral nutrition for patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis. Post pyloric enteral nutrition may be preferred over total parenteral nutrition when possible due to lower costs and lower risks of infectious complications.
