Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of the acetaminophen absorption test (AAT) to assess gastrointestinal (GI) function in critically ill COVID-19 patients, comparing it with traditional assessment methods.
- Results showed that 55% of patients demonstrated malabsorption via AAT, even though they exhibited normal bowel function based on typical clinical indicators like stool output.
- The AAT appeared to correlate with better feeding tolerance and less ileus, suggesting it could be a more effective and efficient tool for evaluating GI function in these patients.
