Abstract
In critically ill patients early enteral nutrition (EN) preserves gastrointestinal (GI) integrity and motility and should be started as early as possible. We know that several therapeutic strategies, e.g. catecholamines or analgosedation, exert adverse effects on GI motility.1 What we do not know is whether therapeutic hypothermia has an influence on GI motility and thereby feeding intolerance.
