Tube feeding care standard for critically ill children
This study tests a new standard for tube feeding care in critically ill children. It aims to improve safety and outcomes for children who need feeding tubes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Nurses must have worked in the PICU for at least 3 months and be able to place feeding tubes independently.
- Nurses must have a valid nursing license and agree to join the study.
- Children must be critically ill, between 29 days and 18 years old, and in the hospital for at least 24 hours.
- Children must be getting nutrition through a feeding tube (not through a surgical opening in the stomach or intestine).
- Parents or guardians must give permission for their child to take part.
