First seen May 03, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether placing a tube through the nose into the stomach (nasogastric tube) is truly helpful for adults with a small bowel blockage in the emergency room. Researchers will track pain, nausea, hospital stay length, and survival in 400 patients. They will also check if frailty helps predict outcomes in older adults. The goal is to see if this common but painful procedure is actually needed.
