Blood flow in stomach and gut injury in ICU patients
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial checks if changes in blood flow to the stomach and intestines can predict gut injury in critically ill patients who need feeding through a tube. It uses a safe ultrasound test at the bedside.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 80 years old.
- Staying in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 3 days.
- Need to start feeding through a tube (enteral nutrition).

This study examines whether measuring blood flow in the stomach using ultrasound can predict which hospitalized patients will struggle to tolerate tube feeding. Researchers hope this simple test might help doctors adjust feeding plans earlier and improve patient outcomes.
This trial tests using an ultrasound scan to estimate stomach fluid and volume in ICU patients. It may help clinicians better assess aspiration risk and prepare for safe anesthesia or procedures.
This trial studies how well your body takes up nutrients when feeding is given continuously through a stomach tube. It may help doctors fine-tune feeding methods to better match how your body uses food.
This study tests whether a special type of tube feeding can help protect your gut bacteria and prevent infections while you are critically ill in the ICU. It compares different feeding formulas to see which one best supports your body's natural defenses.
This trial tests whether giving a diluted or undiluted liquid nutrition formula through a feeding tube is better for patients recovering in the ICU after major abdominal surgery.
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.
