Studying rehab practices in the intensive care unit
This study watches how patients in the intensive care unit are helped to move and strengthen their muscles (rehabilitation) during their stay. It does not give any new treatment or medicine, but simply documents what usual care looks like for people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06923813Recruiting
Measuring nutrient absorption in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study checks how well patients who are still in the hospital after an ICU stay absorb the nutrients from their tube feeding. A special test called bomb calorimetry will measure the calories in stool to see if the body is getting the energy it needs.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06895590Recruiting
