Does tube size matter? study tests which feeding tube causes fewer problems in kids

NCT ID NCT07300865

Summary

This study aims to find out if using a thinner feeding tube (12Fr) causes fewer complications than a slightly thicker one (14Fr) in children who need long-term nutritional support. Researchers will randomly assign 200 children to receive either tube size and track complications like infections, pain, and tissue overgrowth over three months. The goal is to provide better guidance for doctors choosing tube sizes to improve children's comfort and reduce healthcare visits.
