Erythromycin facilitates postpyloric placement of nasoduodenal feeding tubes in intensive care unit patients: randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. J Parenter Enter Nutr 1996; 20:385-388. This paper provides strong evidence that erythromycin is helpful in the blind placement of enteral feeding tubes, especially in patients with normal mental status. The clinical implications of the report make it of outstanding interest.

J Parenter Enter Nutr 1997; 21:279-285. This statistical model has been developed to ensure that all respiratory misplacement of enteral tubes could be identified. It may be the first step of the development of a simple, low-cost, bedside test to determine tube location.

This article reports a long-term experience with direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomies. This new method is especially useful in patients with gastroparesis, gastric obstruction or post-gastrectomy and may reduce aspiration rates.

Forty-three badly injured patients were nourished with either an experimental diet (supplemental arginine, trace elements and increased ω-3 fatty acids) or a standard isocaloric isonitrogenous diet. Mortality rates were identical, but experimental diet patients remained on the ventilator longer and in the hospital longer compared with the standard diet group. Dietary over-stimulation of the immune system may not be beneficial to intensive care patients.

Forty-nine burned patients received either Impact or Replete, a standard high-protein diet. There were no differences between groups in mortality rates, length of hospitalization, hospital charges, days of ventilation support, or incidence of complications.

Effects of a small-peptide and whole-protein enteral feedings on serum proteins and diarrhea in critically ill patients: a randomized trial. J Parenter Enter Nutr 1997; 21:162-167. Fifty intensive care unit patients completed this randomized trial. Small-peptide and whole-protein diets were well tolerated, with a tendency towards more frequent diarrhoea in the small-peptide group. Increases of serum fibronectin and prealbumin were more marked in the small-peptide group.

J Parenter Enter Nutr 1997; 21:286-289. This report of a computer simulation model demonstrates that the usual practice which consists of stopping enteral nutrition when the gastric residual volume is above an arbitrarily determined value is not optimal. The rigorous methodology and the potential consequences in common practice make this article of outstanding interest.
