Doctors test simple stomach scan to prevent feeding issues in critically ill

NCT ID NCT07312890

Summary

This study is testing whether a simple bedside ultrasound scan of the stomach, done early, can predict which critically ill patients on breathing machines will have trouble tolerating liquid food through a feeding tube. Researchers will scan 150 adult ICU patients and see if the stomach size measurement relates to later vomiting, regurgitation, or the need to slow down feeding. The goal is to find a better way to spot feeding problems early to help manage nutrition and potentially improve recovery.
