However, based upon the results of this analysis and our experience feeding critically ill patients, we recommend that critically ill patients who are not at high risk for aspiration have a nasogastric/orogastric tube placed on admission to the ICU for the early initiation of enteral nutrition.
Furthermore, unlike a nasogastric/orogastric tube, which can be passed in less than a minute, it can take an experienced operator up to 30 minutes to achieve post-pyloric placement of a small bowel feeding tube.
An alternative to the use of a small intestinal feeding tube is to place a regular orogastric or nasogastric tube into the stomach and to use a promotility agent in those patients who are at high risk for gastroparesis or in those who develop high gastric residuals (>150-250 ml).
