چکیده
Introduction Interruption of enteral nutrition (EN) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU). Frequent episodes of EN interruption can lead to protein and calorie debt with a potential impact on outcomes in critically ill patients [1,2]. However, few studies have investigated the details of EN interruption practice including the reasons and duration of the interruption [3,4]. A standard protocol to minimize EN interruption has not been established.
