Core Tip	Surgical critical care patients are more prone to frequent feeding interruptions for unavoidable reasons. In this study we validated that implementation of a feeding protocol in a surgical intensive care unit (SICU) decreased time to achieve goal rate and increased the total volume administered daily, despite frequent interruptions. It also increased detailed documentation by unit staff of interruptions allowing us to identify a trend with regard to feeding interruptions to better understand which practices/procedures require further review. The median time to achieve the goal rate was significantly shorter in the post-intervention phase. The time to achieve the total recommended daily volume showed a non-significant decline in the post-intervention phase and the overall volume administered daily was higher in the post-intervention phase. While the overall interruptions data did not reach statistical significance, undocumented interruptions (interruptions for unknown reasons) were lower in the post-intervention phase. To our knowledge, we are the second largest single center study supporting the benefit of implementing a feeding protocol in a SICU.
