Abstract
Rationale: Gastrointestinal dysmotility (GID) represents a relevant clinical problem in critically ill. It is associated with longer hospital stay and higher mortality. In the clinical presentation as gastroparesis, it is diagnosed when it is not possible to offer adequate oral or enteral nutrition, as a result of vomiting and/or high gastric residual volume, after 72 hours of attempts. In these cases, the triple-lumen enteral tube feeding (TLETF) – Freka Trelumina® – can be used as an alternative to the conventional method, as it makes it possible to infuse the enteral nutrition (EN) formula in the jejunum, through the distal lumen and, simultaneously, to decompress the stomach.
