Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the percentage of target caloric requirement achieved by day 3 of initiation of enteral feed in critically ill patients between the groups initiated on enteral feed based on Ultrasound assessment and conventional methodTimepoint: On Day 3 after initiation of feed—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the feed tolerance between the groups (Group U and C) during initial trial feed administration and 6 hours after initiation of feedTimepoint: 6 hours after initiation of feed; To compare the incidence of diarrhoea, vomiting between the groupsTimepoint: Up to 3 days after initiation of feed; To compare the mean difference in antral cross sectional area (CSA) 4 hours after feed between the groups.Timepoint: 4 hours after each feed;To analyse correlation between GRV and NG tube aspirateTimepoint: four hours after administration of trail feed;To compare the incidence of aspiration pneumonitis between the groupsTimepoint: Up to 3 days after initiation of feed;To compare the need of measures initiated to improve tolerance of feed between groupsTimepoint: Up to 3 days after initiation of feed—
