Summary

A complex neurohumoral feedback mechanism regulates gastric emptying of enteral nutrition through changes in gastric motility. In this investigation, we aim to investigate the impact of different infusion rates of enteral nutrition on gastric motility, gastric emptying rate, epigastric symptoms and satiation.

Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging will be used to validate an extended 13C-octanoate breath test for gastric emptying of a liquid test meal that is infused over 2 hours. Furthermore, the reliability of a manual position check of the VIPUN Balloon catheter will be confirmed with radiographic imaging. Finally, the data will be used for the data driven optimization of the VIPUN MI algorithm.

Interventions

DEVICE

VIPUN Balloon Catheter

The VIPUN Balloon Catheter is a nasogastric balloon catheter consisting of a standard nasogastric double lumen Sump catheter and a balloon attached to this catheter. Once the catheter is advanced into the stomach, the balloon can be inflated. The inflated balloon dimensions and intraballoon pressure are such that intragastric motility can optimally be assessed without inducing epigastric symptoms.
