PURPOSE OF REVIEW
To balance theoretical pros and cons of intermittent feeding, in light of the current nutritional management early during critical illness.
RECENT FINDINGS
Less aggressive nutrient administration is clinically superior in acute critical illness. This counterintuitive clinical finding may be explained by nutrient restriction activating autophagy, a process that clears intracellular damage. Intermittent feeding holds numerous theoretical benefits, such as activation of…

The take home message from this systematic review is that, at least for now, accurate measurement of energy expenditure with indirect calorimetry does not need to be implemented for every critically ill patient, and the authors do observe signals of benefit when attempting to measure energy expenditure and advocate for ongoing research using indirect calerimetry.

Enteral nutrition in critical patients; should the administration be continuous or intermittent?

The administration modalities of continuous or intermittent enteral nutrition are similar in which regards the comparison of the variables included in this study, with no statistically significant difference in the variables vomiting, abdominal distension or diarrhea.
Intermittent versus continuous feeding in critically ill adults
- Medicine, BiologyCurrent opinion in clinical nutrition and metabolic care

Studies in healthy humans suggest that intermittent nutrient administration, as opposed to continuous, improves whole body protein synthesis, and until further studies are conducted in critically ill patients, a recommendation for or against intermittent nutrition delivery cannot be made.

The two groups were similar in this regard, without statistical differences, probably because of meticulous technique, careful monitoring, strict patient matching, and conservative amounts of diet employed in both situations.

Early parenteral nutrition does not seem to impact AKI incidence, although it may delay recovery in patients with stage 2 AKI, and substantial catabolism of the extra amino acids, which leads to higher levels of plasma urea, might explain the prolonged duration of renal replacement therapy observed with early parenTERal nutrition.
Prospective randomized control trial of intermittent versus continuous gastric feeds for critically ill trauma patients.

Patients from both the intermittent and continuous feeding regimens reached the goal during the study period of 7 days but the intermittent regimen patients reached goal enteral calories earlier than the continuous regimen patients, which is equivalent to a standard drip-feeding regimen.
