Bleeding in the stomach or intestines in intensive care patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who develop bleeding in the stomach or intestines while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand how common this is and what factors might be involved, which could help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial checks if changes in blood flow to the stomach and intestines can predict gut injury in critically ill patients who need feeding through a tube. It uses a safe ultrasound test at the bedside.
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.
This study looks at whether adding a simple gut-related score to a standard ICU health score can better predict a patient's risk of dying in the ICU. If you are staying in the ICU for at least a day, this research might help improve care for future patients.
This study looks at patients with heart disease who take antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel) and then develop bleeding in the stomach or intestines. The goal is to understand and improve care for this bleeding while managing heart disease.
This study looks at stomach and gut problems that children may develop while in the intensive care unit (ICU) for other serious illnesses. The goal is to better understand these problems and how to help children who have them.
This study looks at whether people who come to the hospital with severe stomach or intestinal bleeding may also develop kidney problems while they are being treated. Researchers want to track how well the kidneys are working to see if the bleeding causes harm.
