Feeding tube removal may speed up eating recovery in ICU patients
NCT ID NCT05795569
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether taking out the nasogastric feeding tube right after removing a breathing tube helps ICU patients start eating by mouth sooner. Swallowing problems are common after ICU stays, and the feeding tube itself might delay recovery. 112 adults who had been on a breathing tube for more than 48 hours took part. The main goal was to see if early tube removal shortens the time to resume eating.
