Nutrition study in critically ill adults
This study looks at how nutrition is given to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand current practices and may help improve care for future patients.

This study looks at the nutritional status of children aged 1 month to 5 years who are admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to understand how their nutrition is affected during critical illness, which may help improve care.
This trial studies whether a planned nutrition plan, along with early physiotherapy (physical therapy), can improve outcomes for adults who expect to stay in the ICU for at least 7 days. It includes people who need feeding through a tube and/or special IV nutrition while on a breathing machine.
This study is looking at why some ICU patients have trouble with tube feeding (also called enteral nutrition). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage feeding intolerance, which is when a patient cannot tolerate food given through a tube into their stomach or intestines.
This study tests whether a personalized nutrition plan from a dietitian for 6 months can help people who have been seriously ill in the ICU recover better. It focuses on patients who had organ failure and who live in Norway.
This study looks at how nutrition relates to frailty in older adults staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help find better ways to support recovery.
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.
