First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at whether stopping tube feeding for at least 8 hours before a procedure (fasting) or stopping it right before (not fasting) is better for critically ill patients on breathing machines. About 1,072 adults in the ICU will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Researchers will track lung complications, recovery time, hospital stays, and survival to see which approach is safer and more effective.
