Figure 1:  The I-FEED scoring system was created out of the need for a consistent objective definition of impaired postoperative GI function.  I-Feed stands for: Intake, Feeling nauseated, Emesis, physical Exam, and Duration of symptoms.  The scoring system attributes 0-2 points for each of the five components based on the clinical presentation of the patient and categorizes patients into Normal (0-2), Postoperative GI Intolerance (3-5), Postoperative GI Dysfunction (≥ 6).

Figure 2.  A treatment algorithm was developed based on the I-FEED scoring system for the management of patients with impaired postoperative GI function according to the clinical presentation of the patient in real time.  (Abbreviations:  POGI - Postoperative GI Intolerance, POGD - Postoperative GI Dysfunction, ERP - enhanced recovery protocol, PONV - postoperative nausea and vomiting, NGT - nasogastric tube, IVF - intravenous fluids)
