研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit of feeding critically-ill patients beyond the stomach (post-pyloric). Furthermore, because of the advent of two new post-pyloric feeding tubes (Tiger 2 and Syncro BlueTube) designed to improve post-pyloric placement, the investigators will be evaluating the benefits of those two tubes as well.

结局指标
主要结局
To determine whether transpyloric feeds are superior to transgastric feeds with regard to ability to give calories and meet nutritional goals.
时间窗: one year
To determine the time to goal calories. To determine the number and qualitative aspect of tracheal aspirations. To determine the time to initiate tube feeds once the decision has been made to place a tube, the number of x-rays required for placement, the time required for placement, the number of times tube needs to be replaced.
次要结局
- To determine the benefits of utilizing one type of transpyloric tube over another. One placed in the transpyloric position magnetically; the other propelled by peristalsis itself.(one year)
