Early nutrition support in the ICU: a hospital comparison study
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- At least one of your organs (like your lungs, kidneys, or heart) has started to fail within the first day in the ICU.
- Your doctors expect you to stay in the ICU for more than two days.
- You are unable to eat food by mouth and do not have any medical reason that would make tube feeding unsafe.

This trial looks at how nutrition is given to children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), especially for those who stay longer than 3 days. The goal is to find better ways to support their recovery.
This study looks at whether certain biomarkers and stomach motility measurements can help predict feeding intolerance in critically ill patients who cannot eat by mouth. It aims to improve how patients are fed in the ICU.
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 looks at how to improve nutrition for people in the ICU at Lille University Hospital. It tests better ways to give food through a tube or IV to help patients recover faster.
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 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.
