About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Critically-ill Patients

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients aging between 18 and 60 years (of both sexes) who are admitted to the ICU and are expected to stay in the ICU for not less than 7 days and are prescribed enteral feeding through naso- or oro-gastric tube whose modified nutritional risk in the critically ill (mNUTRIC) score is of more than or equal 5.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who met the following criteria were excluded:

    • Age less than 18 years or more than 60 years.
    • Previous upper gastrointestinal tract surgery, obstruction, hemorrhage or history of GI disease.
    • Clinically significant hepatic dysfunction. (>3 times above the upper end of normal range of bilirubin, γ-glutamyl transferase, aspartate transaminase, or lactate dehydrogenase)
    • Regular use of H2 blockers, prokinetic, proton pump inhibitor or anticholinergic agents for previous 4 weeks.
    • Patients with arrhythmia or atrioventricular blocks.
    • Any condition or comorbid disease that might interfere with gastric emptying such as diabetes.
    • Patients with head injuries.
