NCT ID NCT07001943
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at 80 critically ill ICU patients who need tube feeding. Doctors will use a bedside ultrasound to measure blood flow in the gut artery after feeding starts. The goal is to see if changes in blood flow can predict gut injury, so feeding can be adjusted to be safer and more personalized.
