Gastrointestinal motility and nutrition for critically ill patients

Gastrointestinal motility disorders frequently occur during intensive care therapy for critically ill patients. A large number of factors and pharmaceuticals can influence intestinal peristalsis. In close cooperation with the Division of Pharmacology, our working group is dedicated to investigating the influence of drugs on the peristaltic activity of the small and large intestines.
