Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if naso-jejunal feeding feeding beyond the stomach improves the efficacy of enteral feeding feeding into the gut in critically ill patients

The study hypothesis is that in patients who fail to establish enteral feeding via the nasogastric route introduction of nasojejunal feeding will lead to more effective enteral feeding than the current regime involving staged introduction of promotility agents
Detailed Description: The study examines the area of enteral feeding in critically ill patients Current standard enteral feeding practice is via a nasogastric with the addition of promotility agents for patients who fail to absorb their enteral nutrition

This study compares the efficacy of nasojejunal feeding feeding with nasogastric enteral feeding with the addition of promotility agents

The duration of feeding will be determined by the patients nutritional requirements and their general condition However the data will be collected for duration of enteral feeding 28 days or ICU discharge whichever occurs first
