Nutrition and recovery in ICU patients on breathing machines
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body's metabolism and nutrition status relate to recovery in ICU patients on breathing machines. It aims to understand if nutritional therapy can improve outcomes for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether starting physical therapy and tailored nutrition early and continuing for a longer time helps people recover after being on a breathing machine and blood pressure support in the ICU.
This trial tests whether providing nutrition that is precisely matched to your body's energy needs can improve recovery for patients on breathing machines. It uses a special test to measure your metabolism and adjust the feeding accordingly.
This study tests whether a personalized nutrition plan from a dietitian for 6 months can help people who have been seriously ill in the ICU recover better. It focuses on patients who had organ failure and who live in Norway.
This trial studies whether a planned nutrition plan, along with early physiotherapy (physical therapy), can improve outcomes for adults who expect to stay in the ICU for at least 7 days. It includes people who need feeding through a tube and/or special IV nutrition while on a breathing machine.
This study looks at how the body produces energy in critically ill patients on breathing machines. It compares energy production between ICU patients and healthy volunteers to find better ways to support recovery.
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.
