The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit of feeding critically-ill patients
beyond the stomach (post-pyloric). Furthermore, because of the advent of two new
post-pyloric feeding tubes (Tiger 2 and Syncro BlueTube) designed to improve post-pyloric
placement, the investigators will be evaluating the benefits of those two tubes as well.
Inclusion Criteria:
- patients admitted to the ICU who are deemed by the attending critical care physician
to warrant tube feeds and expected to receive tube feeds for more than three days
