What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects With GI Bleeding

    1. Incidence of overt GI bleeding (as defined by the presence of coffee ground emesis, hematemesis of bright red blood, melena, or hematochezia) seen with Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) and EN versus EN alone in critically ill patients.
    2. Incidence of significant GI bleeding, defined by a 3-point decrease in hematocrit within 24 hours accompanied by signs of overt GI bleeding, or by an unexplained 6-point decrease in hematocrit during any 48 hour period.

    Measured: Subjects will be followed from date of randomization until discharge from the ICU or cessation of Enteral Nutrition (EN) and successful initiation of oral feeds up to 100 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Subjects With ICU-acquired C. Difficile Pseudomembranous Colitis.

    Measured: Subjects will be followed until discharge from the ICU or cessation of EN and successful initiation of oral feeds up to 100 weeks.
