Poor feeding tolerance can compromise patient nutrition provision which may lead to adverse outcomes and unfortunately it is all too common in the enterally-fed critically ill patient with up to half experiencing some GI intolerance1.

Key learning outcomes:
- Reviews the prevalence and clinical indicators of GI intolerance in critical care patients
- Discusses the impact of GI intolerance and subsequent feeding disruptions on clinical outcomes
- Summarises evidence-based approaches to manage GI intolerance in the critical care setting.
