What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Summary

This study looks at how different modes of mechanical ventilation affect pressure inside the abdomen and how well patients tolerate a feeding tube. Researchers will measure abdominal pressure and feeding tolerance in 90 adults on breathing machines in the ICU. The goal is to find links that could help improve care for critically ill patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If patterns emerge, this could help doctors choose ventilator settings that reduce feeding complications in ICU patients.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 90 participants, so findings may not apply broadly. It measures associations, not causes.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
