Summary

Within the context of intensive care units (ICU), enteral nutrition (NE) is an essential tool in the management of critical patients. Gastrointestinal dysfunction causes significant difficulties in implementing enteral nutrition, and constitutes one of the main medical or non-avoidable causes to avoid enteral feeding in critically ill patients. Gastric ultrasound is a validated tool to non-invasively evaluate gastric volume and content. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of this test in critically ill patients for initiation and tolerance of the enteral feeding.
