Blood flow in stomach and gut injury in ICU patients

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 study looks at patients who develop bleeding in the stomach or intestines while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand how common this is and what factors might be involved, which could help improve care for future patients.

This study looks at how critically ill patients on a breathing tube and receiving nutrition through a tube tolerate their feeding, depending on the dose of medications given to manage their blood pressure. It aims to see if feeding works well while patients are on these medications.

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 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 looks at how quickly the stomach empties in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving liquid nutrition through a tube. It aims to understand and possibly improve feeding tolerance in these patients.
