First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looked at 98 people with severe traumatic brain injury who needed a breathing tube. Researchers compared two ways of giving nutrition: a tube that goes through the mouth into the esophagus versus a tube through the nose into the stomach. They checked blood markers, weight, and how quickly patients could have their breathing tube removed. The goal was to see which feeding method leads to better nutrition and recovery.
