The adverse events (AE) caused by the use of Enteral Nutritional Therapy (ENT) cause from respiratory complications, prolongation of hospitalization to deaths. The elderly, due to worsening of chronic diseases, multiple comorbidities and the aging process itself, may be more susceptible to these complications. The aim of this study was to identify and propose intervention strategies that can improve the quality of health care and safety of elderly patients hospitalized with NICT, identifying adverse events and possible factors that contribute to their occurrence. An integrative literature review was conducted using the MEDLINE, Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science and CINAHL databases from December 9, 2021 to January 28, 2022. We analyzed 51 publications in English, Portuguese, and Spanish that answered the guiding question of this study. Eighteen articles were exclusively about the elderly population. The adverse events resulting from NTT were classified as Mechanical AEs and Other AEs. Mechanical AE were divided into: inadequate positioning of nasogastric/nasoenteric probes (SNG/NEG); SNG/NEG obstruction; and accidental removal of SNG/NEG. The strategies that would contribute to the reduction or prevention of adverse events arising from SNG/SNS indicate the safety culture as essential for the management of health institutions. The standardization of procedures with the use of scientifically based technical protocols, the use of reliable methods to verify the positioning of the SNG/SNS, effective communication between team professionals, continuous professional training, the joint responsibility of the multidisciplinary team and encouraging voluntary notifications for the replanning of actions contribute to the construction of effective safety barriers.
