Summary
Acute lower gastrointestinal dysfunction is a kind of much common complication which occurred
in critically ill patients. Once it developed, enteral nutrition would be disturbed. In this
study, investigators suppose that early application of a sufficient amount of pectin ahead of
enteral nutrition, may promote recovery of acute lower gastrointestinal dysfunction in
critically ill patients, and exert its good effect on early EN support.
Investigators designed this prospective randomized controlled trial to test and evaluates the
effect whether EN feeding with or without a pectin start would be safe or with advanced
clinical outcomes.
