Enteral nutrition (EN) is the preferred route to provide nutritional support in critically ill patients. Immunological and clinical benefits of EN are well documented, even if it is not exempt of complications, the modality used for its infusion being a factor that could contribute to gastrointestinal (GI) intolerance. GI intolerance results in discontinuation of the infusion, leading to caloric debt and a negative impact on nutritional status and clinical outcomes.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in GI tolerance between intermittent and continuous enteral feeding modalities in critically ill individuals.
