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 study tests if breathing moist air after a heart bypass surgery reduces thirst and throat discomfort while in the intensive care unit. It may help patients feel more comfortable after breathing tube removal.
This study tests a special nutrition program for patients who just had a breathing tube removed in the ICU. It aims to see if a safe swallowing check can help prevent problems and make feeding safer.
This study tests whether patients can drink water soon after urological endoscopic surgery (a minimally invasive procedure on the urinary system) to feel better and reduce post-surgery thirst. The goal is to see if safe, early drinking improves how patients feel during recovery.
This trial tests whether giving one extra hour of gentle breathing support right after removing the breathing tube helps patients in the ICU breathe better on their own. It aims to improve recovery and reduce the need for reinserting the tube.
This study looks at aspiration (food or liquid going “the wrong way” into the airway) in people who survived a serious ICU breathing problem. It may help doctors better support safe swallowing and breathing recovery after being on a breathing machine.
