Summary
The purpose and primary objective of this study is to determine if there is an association between enteral tube feed (TF) osmolality and diarrhea in critically ill patients. The investigators hypothesize that the administration of a TF formulation with high osmolality will cause more diarrhea than a TF formulation with a lower osmolality.
