“…Despite the insufficiency of the evidence supporting the interruption of feeding, feeding of patients was generally interrupted in clinical practice due to GRV excess, and only 43%-64% of patients reach the targeted calorie amount (Adam & Batson, 1997;Heyland et al, 1995Heyland et al, , 2003McClave et al, 1999;Mentec et al, 2001;Montejo, 1999Montejo, , 2010Moreira & McQuiggan, 2009). Instead of discontinuing feeding due to gastric intolerance, the use of prokinetic medications was suggested to increase the gastric emptying rate (Bourgault et al, 2007;Deane et al, 2007;Fruhwald et al, 2007;Heyland et al, 2003;McClave et al, 1999;Nguyen et al, 2007;Stroud et al, 2003).…”
