Nutrition and metabolism study for ICU patients on ventilators
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well nutritional therapy works for ICU patients who need a breathing machine. It may help doctors choose the right nutrition support for you.
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 at least 72 hours and on a breathing machine for at least 24 hours
- You started nutrition support within 72 hours of ICU admission and received it for at least 3 days
- You have had blood tests related to nutrition on days 1, 3, and 7 of your ICU stay

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 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 looks at how to improve nutrition for people in the ICU at Lille University Hospital. It tests better ways to give food through a tube or IV to help patients recover faster.
This study looks at how to improve tube feeding for critically ill patients in the ICU who need a breathing machine. It aims to find the best way to give nutrition through a tube to help them recover.
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.
