The first report of accidental infusion of enteral nutrition (EN) into an intravenous (IV) line was published in 1972.[1]

An enteral misconnection is defined as an inadvertent connection between an enteral feeding system and a nonenteral system such as an intravascular line, peritoneal dialysis catheter, tracheostomy tube cuff, medical gas tubing, and other medical devices.[1]
