Tube feeding tolerance with different blood pressure medications in the intensive care unit
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and currently in the intensive care unit.
- You must be receiving nutrition through a tube placed in your nose or mouth that goes to your stomach.
- You must have been feeding for at least 4 hours without breaks.
- You must be getting at least half of your daily calorie goal from the tube feeding.
- Your feeding rate must not have been changed in the last 2 hours.
- You or your legal representative must sign a consent form to participate.

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 study compares giving liquid food at room temperature (cold) versus body temperature (warm) through a feeding tube to see which helps the stomach empty better in ICU patients. It may help find a way to improve comfort and nutrition for people who need tube feeding.
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 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 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 examines whether measuring blood flow in the stomach using ultrasound can predict which hospitalized patients will struggle to tolerate tube feeding. Researchers hope this simple test might help doctors adjust feeding plans earlier and improve patient outcomes.
