Intermittent tube feeding for organ failure in the ICU
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving tube feeding at certain times of day, instead of continuously, helps people on breathing machines recover from organ failure faster. It is for patients who need a breathing tube and are receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares giving tube feeding continuously versus taking breaks to see which approach helps critically ill patients' metabolism better. It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube and will be fed through a stomach tube.
This trial studies how well your body takes up nutrients when feeding is given continuously through a stomach tube. It may help doctors fine-tune feeding methods to better match how your body uses food.
This trial tests whether giving tube feeds at certain times (intermittently) helps people with severe stroke recover better. It is for patients who need long-term nutrition support soon after their stroke.
This trial compares different ways of providing early nutrition (tube feeding) to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are too sick to eat on their own. It aims to find the best approach to help recovery.
