Ultrasound may spot feeding trouble in ICU patients before it starts

NCT ID NCT07312890

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether an early stomach ultrasound can predict feeding intolerance in 150 ICU patients on a breathing machine. Researchers will measure the stomach area with ultrasound and track if patients later have vomiting, regurgitation, or need to stop feeding. The goal is to find a simple way to catch feeding problems early and improve care.
