Tube feeding tolerance in intensive care patients
This study looks at why some ICU patients have trouble tolerating tube feeding (nutrition through a tube). By understanding these factors, doctors hope to improve care and comfort for patients who need tube feeding in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is looking at why some ICU patients have trouble with tube feeding (also called enteral nutrition). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage feeding intolerance, which is when a patient cannot tolerate food given through a tube into their stomach or intestines.
This study looks at how critically ill patients on a breathing tube and receiving nutrition through a tube tolerate their feeding, depending on the dose of medications given to manage their blood pressure. It aims to see if feeding works well while patients are on these medications.
This study compares different ways of giving liquid nutrition through a feeding tube to people in the intensive care unit who need it for at least a week. The goal is to find the best way to provide nutrition to help patients recover.
This study looks at whether blood bicarbonate levels can predict how well patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) tolerate feeding through a tube. It aims to help doctors adjust feeding plans to reduce stomach issues.
This trial compares two ways of giving liquid food through a tube into the stomach for people in the intensive care unit. It looks at whether continuous feeding is better than intermittent feeding in terms of how much food remains in the stomach, which can affect digestion and safety.
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.
