Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • As this study is to compare feeding tolerance in Paediatric Intensive Care, patients will be recruited from serial admissions to the PICU. This is a single centre study in a regional intensive care unit of a teaching hospital with 11 beds. All children aged 1 month to 16 years admitted during a period of 6 months. The study period may be shortened or lengthened depending on the sample size to justify enough power for statistical analysis, but it is anticipated that it will not exceed 12 months once started.

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Children who have known gastro\-oesophageal reflux disease, recent gastro\-intestinal surgery, fundoplication, gastrostomy, inflammatory bowel disease, nasojejunal feeding, prokinetic use (Erythromycin, Clarithromycin or Domperidone) and any preset contra\-indication to enteral feeds
  • 2\. Any patient requiring constant carbohydrate or dextrose input, eg metabolic patients
  • 3\. Patients participating in an ongoing research trial
