Excerpt

Gastrointestinal or intra-abdominal conditions are a major cause for critical illness. Additionally, critical illness precipitates gastrointestinal injury, mediated by hypoperfusion, hypoxia and systemic inflammation. This editorial reviews the progress made on gastrointestinal issues in critically ill patients as reported in the recent literature in order to focus on the needs for further research in this field (Fig. 1).
