Early prone positioning and tube feeding in ICU
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether early prone positioning (lying on your stomach) and early tube feeding can help people with severe lung failure in the ICU recover faster. It's for adults with organ failure and severe ARDS who can safely be placed on their stomach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been in the ICU for less than 24 hours and at least one organ is failing.
- You have moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung condition with very low oxygen levels).
- Doctors expect you to stay in the ICU for at least 48 hours.
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have a reason that prevents you from lying on your stomach or receiving tube feeding.

This trial studies how lying on your stomach (prone positioning) affects blood flow in the brain during severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to predict and prevent brain problems that might occur with this treatment.
This trial is for people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who need a breathing machine. It tests how long lying on your stomach (prone position) helps improve breathing, by measuring changes in your body's oxygen levels and other vital signs.
This trial checks whether it’s safe and doable to help people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) start standing early, while they are closely monitored. It may help some patients begin upright movement sooner, with the goal of improving safety.
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.
This study tests if giving nutrition through a feeding tube is safe and effective for patients with severe lung failure who need to lie on their stomach to help breathing. It may help doctors understand how to best feed patients during this treatment.
This study looks at how placing patients on their stomach (prone positioning) affects those with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to learn more about the best practices for this treatment in the ICU.
