Objective: Most of the patients who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are forced to feed and use nutrition and medicine through an implanted tube. When administering medication through enteral feeding tubes, it is essential to be cautious, as some drugs may not be suitable due to interactions with feeding formulas or adverse effects when crushed. Some errors during drug gavage can lead to feeding tube blockage, reduced drug effectiveness, or drug toxicity.

Background: Nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding under physical restraint is a clinical intervention that may be required when a child or young person is medically unstable secondary to restrictive eating.
Aim: To explore the experiences of parents when their child receives NGT feeding under physical restraint and understand the effects of this on them.
Method: This is a secondary analysis of data from two previous studies on NGT feeding under physical restraint - one in mental health wards and one in children's wards - in which semi-structured interviews had been conducted with patients, staff and parents.
