- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To find specificity and sensitivity of Ultrasonographic assessment and manual aspiration technique for measurement of GRV. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: All the enterally fed patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria would be subjected to bedside ultrasonography for measurement of gastric reserve volume followed by manual aspiration for the same measurement twice a day at morning and evening prior to feed with last feed atleast 4 hours prior to estimation of GRV. <br/ ><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of gastric feed intolerance in our ICU. <br/ ><br>Assessment of other features of gastric intolerance eg. vomiting, flatulence, diarrhea and stomach ache in the study group. <br/ ><br>Role of Levosulpiride in preventing gastric intolerance. <br/ ><br>Side effects of the drug if used.Timepoint: 12 months
