How food given through a tube affects recovery in sepsis patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
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 trial tests whether a nutrition formula customized for each patient improves recovery in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help patients who need feeding through a tube and are expected to stay in the ICU for more than a week.
This trial compares two types of liquid nutrition given through a feeding tube to patients with sepsis in the ICU. One formula uses short peptides (easier-to-digest protein pieces) and the other uses whole proteins, to see which helps you recover better.
This trial tests whether adding L-citrulline to tube feeding (enteral nutrition) can improve outcomes for people in the ICU with sepsis or septic shock. It may help support the body’s immune response while you’re critically ill.
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.
This trial is testing whether adding a special fiber to tube feeding can help keep your gut bacteria healthy and reduce the risk of infections while you are critically ill. It is for people in the ICU who are already getting nutrition through a tube.
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.
