A prospective review of 158 enterally fed intensive care unit (ICU) patients at the University of Kentucky Medical Center revealed a significant variation in the clinical approach to the diagnosis and management of diarrhea. A standard definition for diarrhea was necessary to develop a cost-effective approach to this problem. A rational treatment algorithm was established for the diagnosis and management of diarrhea in the enterally fed ICU patient.
