Feeding while on stomach for severe lung failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have severe lung failure (ARDS) with very low oxygen levels in your blood.
- You need a breathing machine and your doctor has decided you must lie on your stomach for at least 12 hours a day for 3 or more days.
- You will be receiving nutrition through a feeding tube.
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.

This trial is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
This trial compares lying on your side versus lying on your belly to improve oxygen levels in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors choose the best position to help you breathe better.
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.
This trial tests whether feeding through a tube placed in the stomach can prevent pneumonia in patients who have had a severe stroke and cannot swallow safely. Pneumonia is a common and serious complication after stroke, and this study aims to see if careful feeding management can reduce this risk.
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.
This study tests whether placing a feeding tube past the stomach (postpyloric) can help very premature babies with ongoing lung problems breathe better. Infants born before 32 weeks who still need breathing support may join.
