Summary

This study looks at whether patients in the ICU who need a tracheostomy can keep getting nutrition through a tube right up until surgery, instead of stopping 6 hours before. The goal is to see if this helps them get more food without increasing the risk of food getting into the lungs or causing lung infections. About 200 adults in the ICU will take part, and researchers will compare the two approaches.
