Popis: BACKGROUND Altered drug and nutrient absorption presents a unique challenge in critically ill patients. Performing an acetaminophen absorption test (AAT) has been used as a marker for gastric motility and upper small bowel absorption; thus, it may provide objective data regarding enteral absorptive ability in critically ill patients. STUDY QUESTION What is the clinical experience with AAT when used as a surrogate marker for enteral absorption in critically ill patients? STUDY DESIGN This single-center, retrospective, cohort study evaluated serum acetaminophen concentrations within 180 minutes following 1-time enteral administration of an AAT. Patients admitted to the surgical and medical intensive care units and medical intensive care units over a 7-year period were evaluated. Groups were defined as positive (acetaminophen concentration of ≥10 mg/L) or negative (acetaminophen concentration of
