NCT ID NCT07362537
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 40 adults with severe lung injury (ARDS) who need to lie on their stomachs while on a breathing machine. Researchers want to see if feeding through a tube into the stomach or deeper into the small intestine helps patients get better nutrition and recover faster. The goal is to improve care and reduce complications.
