Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the current clinical attitude in enteral nutrition support and motility disorders in adult critically ill patients on German intensive care units. METHODS:A total of 1493 questionnaires, including 25 items on the medical environment, treatment of motility disorders and enteral nutrition, were sent to German intensive care units in September 2005. Responses were collected during a 2-month period. RESULTS:A total of 593 questionnaires were returned (response rate 41%). The intensive care units were mainly led by anaesthesiologists (63%) or internists (17%). Standard nutrition protocols were used in 44%. Feeding was mainly started as a combined enteral-parenteral regimen (70%). Early enteral nutrition was performed in 58% using a volume of 250-500 mL (66%) and increased by 200-400 mL day-1 (55%). It was mainly delivered by gastric tube (76%) via continuous pump systems (72%) with short interruption intervals of <4 h (86%). Enteral nutrition solutions were mainly standard polymeric formulae (86%). Modified solutions for diabetics and those with renal or liver failure were uncommonly used; immunonutrition did not play a role. Prokinetic agents, especially metoclopramide, laxatives and neostigmine, were routinely used (39%). Further therapeutic options in motility dysfunction included purgative enemas (96%), gastrografin (72%) and colon massage (39%). CONCLUSIONS:The concept of early enteral nutrition has been well established and approved in German intensive care units, though the recommendations only meet level C criteria in the current ESPEN guidelines. The current survey may serve for further updates on practical nutrition support in intensive care medicine.
