Key findings and recommendations include:
- energy and protein requirements for non-obese and obese critically ill adults
- permissive underfeeding
- early enteral nutrition
- continuous gastric feedings versus bolus or intermittent gastric feedings
- nasogastric versus nasojejunal feedings
- strategies that are effective in optimizing delivery of enteral nutrition and minimizing risks in critically ill patients
- usefulness of measuring gastric residual volume to predict
