1. Improvement Targets High Performance
A randomized trial of glutamine and antioxidant supplementation in critically ill patients
Improvement Targets
High Performance
Promotility Agents & Small Bowel Feedings
REDOXS© patients who receive < 80% of prescribed study supplements, a median of 51% received motility agents and 26% had small bowel feedings.
The Canadian CPGs recommend patients who experience feed intolerance (high gastric residuals, emesis), the use of a promotility agent is recommended.
Volumes of REDOXS© Study Supplements Administered
It is important to ensure that the full volume of study supplements is administered each day. If there are interruptions, remember the rate can be adjusted to make of for these lost volumes up to a total of doubling the rate for 12 hours.

Timely initiation of REDOXS© Study Supplements
Our ICU is doing an excellent job with respect to initiating REDOXS© study supplements within 2 hours of randomization
Early Enteral Nutrition
REDOXS© sites have performed well, with a median time of 20 hours for initiation of enteral nutrition!
The Canadian Nutrition CPGs recommend that enteral nutrition be initiated within hours of admission to ICU.
