Timing of IV nutrition in critically ill patients
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have at least one organ failing (like heart, lungs, or kidneys) within the first day in the ICU
- Doctors expect you to stay in the ICU for more than 3 days
- Tube feeding (feeding through a tube) is started within 48 hours of being in the ICU
- After 3 days, tube feeding provides less than half of the calories you need

This trial compares two ways of feeding patients after they recover from shock in the ICU: through a feeding tube (enteral nutrition) or through a vein (parenteral nutrition). It aims to see which method helps patients recover better.
This trial tests a special approach to nutrition for patients on breathing machines who have trouble digesting food. It aims to see if the new method helps meet nutritional needs better.
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 study looks at how nutrition is given to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand current practices and may help improve care for future patients.
This study tests whether giving a different protein through tube feeding can help critically ill adults in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are already receiving nutrition through a stomach or gut tube and are on a breathing machine.
This study tests different amounts of protein given through a feeding tube to patients on breathing machines in the ICU. Researchers want to see if the right amount of protein helps critically ill patients recover better.
