Objective: To improve the outcomes in ICU patients with blunt abdominal trauma via enteral therapy by saline enteral solution.
Material And Methods: A retrospective and prospective study included 24 patients (18 (75%) men and 6 (25%) women) with blunt abdominal trauma who underwent examination and treatment at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Care. Age of patients ranged from 38 to 81 years (mean 50.1±13.6).
Results: Enteral therapy was followed by normalization of serum lactate, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase after 3 days. There were significant differences in decrease of lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase and C-reactive protein. In the control group, these parameters decreased only by the 10 day.
Conclusion: Inclusion of saline enteral solution into the complex therapy contributes to earlier recovery of gastrointestinal function and prevents compartment syndrome. These aspects reduced the number of patients with multiple organ failure.

Background: Studies show that tube feeding does not improve clinical outcomes, and professional guidelines recommend against its use for individuals with advanced dementia. Yet, our preliminary work demonstrates a preference for tube feeding among Chinese-American dementia caregivers. We propose linguistic and cultural adaptation of "Making Choices: Feeding Options for Patients with Dementia (MCFODA) to create the Chinese version of this efficacious decision aid intervention.

Objective: To investigate the current status and influencing factors of feeding intolerance (FI) during enteral nutrition (EN) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted, including patients from two ICU wards of a tertiary hospital in Guizhou Province from July 2019 to December 2022. Clinical data were collected using a self-designed data collection form, including general information [age, gender, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II)], clinical treatment (mechanical ventilation, mild hypothermia therapy), medication use (vasoactive drugs, glucocorticoids, analgesics, sedatives), EN implementation (types of EN fluids, EN methods, tube feeding rate), EN tolerance, and blood glucose status.
