Feeding support for ventilated patients with gut issues
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a special approach to nutrition for patients on breathing machines who have trouble digesting food. It aims to see if the new method helps meet nutritional needs better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your blood pressure and circulation are stable (shock is controlled)
- Your digestive system is not working well (measured by a stomach ultrasound and a paracetamol absorption test)

This trial tests whether giving IV nutrition (supplemental parenteral nutrition) at different times helps critically ill patients who are not getting enough calories from tube feeding alone. It may improve recovery for people with organ failure in the ICU.
This study compares different ways of giving liquid nutrition through a feeding tube to people in the intensive care unit who need it for at least a week. The goal is to find the best way to provide nutrition to help patients recover.
This study looks at how critically ill patients on a breathing tube and receiving nutrition through a tube tolerate their feeding, depending on the dose of medications given to manage their blood pressure. It aims to see if feeding works well while patients are on these medications.
This study compares the effects of different amounts of protein given through a feeding tube to patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are on a breathing machine. The goal is to see which protein amount helps critically ill patients recover better.
This study follows people with drug-refractory gastroparesis (stomach paralysis symptoms that don’t improve with usual medicines) to better understand how symptoms and nutrition change over time. Your information may help researchers understand patterns that could improve care.
This trial tests a new way to program an implanted device (Enterra®) to better treat severe nausea and vomiting caused by gastroparesis. If you have frequent nausea and vomiting despite other treatments, this study might help find a better setting for your device.
