Biomarkers and feeding tolerance in ICU patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain biomarkers and stomach motility measurements can help predict feeding intolerance in critically ill patients who cannot eat by mouth. It aims to improve how patients are fed in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be in the ICU with at least one organ system failure and a high severity score.
- You must be expected to stay in the ICU for more than 48 hours.
- You must not be able to take food by mouth.
- You must have no medical reason that prevents feeding through a tube.

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 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 the gut bacteria of ICU patients who cannot tolerate tube feeding. Doctors want to see if these bacteria can be used as markers of how well a patient is responding to feeding, and maybe guide future treatment.
This study looks at why some ICU patients have trouble tolerating tube feeding (nutrition through a tube). By understanding these factors, doctors hope to improve care and comfort for patients who need tube feeding in the ICU.
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.
This study looks at whether blood bicarbonate levels can predict how well patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) tolerate feeding through a tube. It aims to help doctors adjust feeding plans to reduce stomach issues.
