Factors affecting tube feeding tolerance in ICU patients
This study looks at factors that affect how well patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) tolerate tube feeding. It aims to identify what influences feeding tolerance to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older.
- Be admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU).
- Have enteral nutrition (tube feeding) planned or already started during the ICU stay.
- Have sufficient medical records to evaluate feeding tolerance.
- Not have any condition that prevents tube feeding.
- Not be transferred to another ICU before the study is completed.
- Provide consent (either you or your legal representative) if required.

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 study looks at whether blood bicarbonate levels (a measure of body chemistry) affect how well patients in the intensive care unit tolerate tube feeding. Researchers will track patients who just started tube feeding to see if blood chemistry predicts feeding problems.
This study looks at whether certain biomarkers and stomach motility measurements can help predict feeding intolerance in critically ill patients who cannot eat by mouth. It aims to improve how patients are fed in the ICU.
This trial compares giving tube feeding continuously versus taking breaks to see which approach helps critically ill patients' metabolism better. It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube and will be fed through a stomach tube.
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 trial studies how well your body takes up nutrients when feeding is given continuously through a stomach tube. It may help doctors fine-tune feeding methods to better match how your body uses food.
