Understanding gut blood-flow problems in ICU patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study helps doctors better predict and understand a serious condition where the bowel doesn't get enough blood flow while patients are in the ICU. By identifying warning signs early, the research aims to improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- Your doctors suspect you may have acute mesenteric ischemia (reduced blood flow to the bowel)
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your bowel condition started or was suspected while you were already in the ICU
- You do not have a strangulated bowel obstruction (a different type of blockage)

This trial is looking for biomarkers (clues in your blood) that can help doctors predict acute mesenteric ischemia, a condition where blood flow to your gut is suddenly blocked. It may help find better ways to diagnose this serious condition early.
This study is looking for signs in the body (called biomarkers) after sudden loss of blood flow to the intestines. It involves getting a CT scan to check what is happening in the abdomen so the researchers can see which signals match intestinal injury.
This study looks at how acute mesenteric ischemia (a condition where blood flow to the intestine is suddenly reduced) and its treatment affect quality of life. It aims to understand the long-term effects on patients treated between 2010 and 2022.
This pilot study looks at markers in your blood that might help doctors tell if you have a serious bowel condition called acute mesenteric ischemia. You may be asked to participate if you have severe belly pain and need a special CT scan to check for this condition.
This study follows adults with intestinal blood-flow problems (from artery or vein issues) to better understand these conditions. It may help doctors plan future diagnosis and treatments for people with sudden or long-lasting intestinal ischemia.
This study looks at ways to promote early diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia, a condition where the intestines don’t get enough blood over time. If you’re being evaluated for this problem, the trial may help ensure the right diagnosis happens sooner.
