Summary

In critical ill patients, feeding protocol is one of the important factor which determines the successful implementation of enteral nutrition（EN）. Acute gastrointestinal injury(AGI) affects feeding tolerance, which greatly determines the successful implementation of feeding protocol. In our previously study, we found that transabdominal intestinal sonography is helpful to diagnosis AGI. Thus in this study ,we apply transabdominal gastrointestinal sonography to feeding protocol, to assess the feasibility of gastrointestinal sonography assisted enteral nutrition and its impact on critical ill patients.

Detailed description

Patients meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the intervention group and control group. During the first week of initiation of nutrition, enteral nutrition was conducted according to different procedures to observe the impact of different feeding procedures on clinical indicators

Conditions

• Critical Illness
• Acute Gastrointestinal Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Implement nutrition therapy according a procedure assisted by gastrointestinal ultrasound	Once the critical ill patients is stable, enteral nutrition was initiated following a procedure assisted by gastrointestinal ultrasound.
