Early rehab with nutrition after ICU ventilation
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether starting physical therapy and tailored nutrition early and continuing for a longer time helps people recover after being on a breathing machine and blood pressure support in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older and have a breathing tube (ventilator) that will stay in for at least 48 hours.
- You must be getting medication to keep your blood pressure up (like adrenaline).
- Nutrition support (tube feeding) must start within 24 hours of the breathing tube.
- You must be able to walk and have no major memory, spinal, or nerve problems before this illness.
- You cannot have a brain injury from cardiac arrest or stroke, or be pregnant or a prisoner.

This study looks at how the body's metabolism and nutrition status relate to recovery in ICU patients on breathing machines. It aims to understand if nutritional therapy can improve outcomes for these patients.
This trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This study looks at how well people recover after critical illness. It tests a prediction tool to help guide rehabilitation for patients who needed a breathing machine and started rehab in the ICU.
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 watches how patients in the intensive care unit are helped to move and strengthen their muscles (rehabilitation) during their stay. It does not give any new treatment or medicine, but simply documents what usual care looks like for people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
