Gut bacteria and tube feeding in severe pneumonia
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial looks at how feeding through a tube affects the good bacteria in your gut and helps protect your body's natural defenses if you have a serious, hard-to-treat lung infection in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with a lung infection (pneumonia).
- Your pneumonia is caused by bacteria that are very hard to treat (called MDR germs).
- You are receiving liquid nutrition through a tube (called enteral nutrition).
- You do not have any other major illness or condition as the main reason for being in the hospital.

This study tests whether a special type of tube feeding can help protect your gut bacteria and prevent infections while you are critically ill in the ICU. It compares different feeding formulas to see which one best supports your body's natural defenses.
This trial tests whether feeding through a tube placed in the stomach can prevent pneumonia in patients who have had a severe stroke and cannot swallow safely. Pneumonia is a common and serious complication after stroke, and this study aims to see if careful feeding management can reduce this risk.
This trial tests if giving antibiotics based on a patient's unique gut bacteria can prevent pneumonia in people who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see if this personalized approach is more effective than standard care.
This trial tests if the type of tube feeding given to sepsis patients in the ICU can affect their recovery. It aims to find the best diet to help fight the infection and prevent complications.
This study looks at how to improve tube feeding for critically ill patients in the ICU who need a breathing machine. It aims to find the best way to give nutrition through a tube to help them recover.
This study tests a specific way of continuing tube feeding for people who need a tracheostomy after being on a breathing tube in the ICU. The goal is to see if this feeding approach is safe and beneficial for recovery.
