Duodenal versus gastric feeding in ventilated blunt trauma patients: a randomised controlled trial. J Trauma 1999; 46: 992-6.
Published: 1st January 1999
Authors: Kortbeek JB, Haigh PI, Doig C.
Conclusion
The study included 80 patients; feeding started within 72h of injury. Trans-pyloric duodenal feeding appeared to reduce the rate of pneumonia (27 versus 42 per cent, p=n.s.), but not the duration of intensive care or hospital stay.
