“…By virtue of its motor function, GIT allows to mix and propel the food particles at a rate that facilitates nutrient absorption, and peristalsis so that the proximal intestine is cleared of residual food and bacteria, which ultimately leads to formation and movement of the stool. 2 , 4 The central (CNS), autonomic (ANS), and enteric nervous systems (ENS) regulate the motility of gut, GI peptides, neurotransmitters, and hormones being the modulators. Myenteric and submucosal plexuses compose the ENS which is situated within the wall of GIT.…”

“… 1 These pose a major hurdle in early, optimal enteral nutrition (EN) delivery, necessitating transient cessation of EN. 2 The critical illness itself, head injury, burns, certain drugs, or surgical interventions can trigger variety of GI problems, including the inability to enterally feed the patients, ileus, diarrhea, and bacterial translocation. 3 …”

A bstract Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders are a common problem in the intensive care unit (ICU) and are associated with increased morbidity, complications like feeding intolerance, malnutrition, bacterial translocation, sepsis, multiple organ failure, prolonged hospital stay and increased risk of mortality. Several risk factors in intensive care setting that contribute to GI dysmotility include mechanical ventilation, vasopressor support, use of opioids, etc. Degree of GI motility dysfunction correlates with severity of critical illness. So, it is important to identify the dysfunction early so that targeted therapy could be prescribed to prevent worsening of clinical outcomes. How to cite this article: Govil D, Pal D.
