What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

In intensive care, many gastric tubes are inserted on a regular basis. There are different practices in terms of the location of the gastric tube. In some cases, the tube is inserted through the nose and in others, it is inserted through the mouth. In the literature and in practice, these gastric tubes create discomfort and complications that have an impact not only on the patient, but also on the treatments and the length of the patient's stay in hospital. Nosocomial Ventilator Associated Pneumonia is the most serious common complication for patients intubated with a gastric tube. It is possible that placement site may have an impact on the risk of developing Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, particularly by increasing the risk of bacterial pullulation opposite the sinuses when the tube is placed via the nasal route. Investigator hypothesises that placing the gastric tube orally will reduce the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia compared with the nasal route in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients.
