Feeding tube removal after breathing tube: a simple change that could speed recovery?
NCT ID NCT05795569
First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looked at whether taking out the nasogastric feeding tube right after a breathing tube is removed helps ICU patients start eating by mouth sooner. Swallowing problems are common after ICU stays, and the feeding tube itself may make it worse. The trial involved 112 adults who had been on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours and had a feeding tube. Researchers compared early removal of the feeding tube versus standard care to see if it improved feeding resumption and reduced pneumonia.
