The trophic-feeding group experienced fewer episodes of regurgitation (0.4% vs 0.7%; P=.003), vomiting (1.7% vs 2.2%; P=.05), elevated GRVs (defined as &gt;400mL) (2.2% vs 4.9%; P&lt;.001), and constipation (2.1% vs 3.1%; P=.003) compared with the full-feeding group.\u00a0 There was no difference in aspiration or ventilator-associated pneumonia between the groups.\u00a0 Patients in the trophic feeding group received antidiarrheal and prokinetic medications on significantly less days than the full-fed group.\u00a0 Postpyloric tubes were used in less than 20% of patients. In the full-feeding group, 444 patients (90%) reached goal feeding rates in a mean time of 1.3 (SD, 1.2) days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author\u2019s Conclusions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In patients with ALI, initial trophic enteral feeding for up to 6 days did not increase the number of VFDs or reduce mortality compared with full enteral feeding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evaluation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a landmark study because it is the first study with adequate numbers of patients that has randomized adult critically ill patients to different calorie levels.\u00a0 The investigators successfully fed <em>most<\/em> of the patients, <em>primarily by the gastric route (&gt;80%), most<\/em> of their calorie needs in the full feeding group \u2013 with 90% (444 patients) reaching goal feeding in an average of 1.3 days.\u00a0 The full fed group received approximately 1300 calories\/day which was a mean of 80% of calculated needs.\u00a0 The trophic group received an average of 400 calories\/day, which was approximately 25% of calculated needs.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is clear that the \u201cfull fed\u201d group did not meet 100% of their calorie needs, it is evident that there was a substantial difference (900 calories\/day) in nutrition provision between the two groups.\u00a0 Considering that a 900 calorie\/day difference (about 56% of needs) did not affect outcome in any meaningful way, I suspect that in the future it will be hard to argue with a straight face (or retained credibility) that a particular method of estimating calorie needs is superior to another because it predicted calorie expenditure 5-10% more accurately.<\/p>\n<p>The authors and the editorial<sup>1<\/sup> made a point to outline what this study does not tell us.\u00a0 The fact that the patients had an average BMI of 30, and patients with severe malnutrition were not included in the study suggests that the results may not apply to patients that are malnourished on admission.\u00a0 Additionally, more than half of the patients were extubated in 6 days, suggesting that many of these patients may not have required nutrition support at all, and the results may not apply to those patients that have an extended ICU stay.<\/p>\n<p>The phase-2 study with similar design and 200 patients<sup>2<\/sup> (see our May 2011 e-journal club) found that significantly more survivors in full feed group were able to be discharged to home rather than to a rehabilitation facility.\u00a0 However, this study did not collect data of post-hospital disposition so it is unclear if some patients had longer term functional consequences from underfeeding.<\/p>\n<p>The trophic group generally received inadequate amounts of all nutrients \u2013 proteins and micronutrients as well as calories, so this study does not address the concept of \u201cmetabolic nutrition support\u201d where full protein and micronutrients are provided with decreased calories during the early part of the admission<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Although there were a number of statistically significant differences in measures of \u201cGI intolerance\u201d such as regurgitation or gastric residual volumes, these differences did not appear to have any clinical ramifications.\u00a0 As pointed out in the editorial, this study suggests that gastric feeding is safe and effective, and the use of a 400 mL residual cut-off allows delivery of full feeding to most patients with a low incidence of aspiration and pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>After 30 years (more or less) of \u201cmodern\u201d nutrition support we still do not have quality randomized data about when (or even IF) to begin nutrition support in critically ill patients, or how much nutrition will result in the best clinical outcome.\u00a0 Hopefully this study will be only the first of many that will begin to answer these \u201cmeat and potato\u201d questions about the nutrition needs of our critically ill patients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Take Home
