Stomach and gut problems in seriously ill children in intensive care
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at stomach and gut problems that children may develop while in the intensive care unit (ICU) for other serious illnesses. The goal is to better understand these problems and how to help children who have them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children aged 1 month to 18 years
- Admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)
- Develop stomach or gut problems after being admitted (like a blocked bowel or hole in the intestine)
- Stomach or gut problems are due to another illness, not the main reason for admission

This study tests a step-by-step feeding plan (enteral nutrition) for children in the pediatric ICU to see if it improves their recovery. It might help if your child is critically ill and can receive nutrition through a tube.
This study looks at how children recover and develop after a stay in the intensive care unit. The goal is to understand outcomes and improve care for children who need intensive care.
This study looks at the gut bacteria of ICU patients who cannot tolerate tube feeding. Doctors want to see if these bacteria can be used as markers of how well a patient is responding to feeding, and maybe guide future treatment.
