What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now

Summary

This study used bedside ultrasound to measure how fast the stomach empties in 60 mechanically ventilated ICU patients receiving different types of tube feeding. The goal was to see if ultrasound can help guide feeding decisions. The study was observational, meaning no new treatments were tested.

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 successful, this could help doctors better manage feeding for critically ill patients, reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all ICU patients.

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

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of adult patients aged 18 years and older who are mechanically ventilated and admitted to the intensive care unit. Eligible patients are those receiving enteral nutrition via a nasogastric tube as part of routine clinical care and who are hemodynamically stable. Patients will be observed prospectively without any protocol-driven intervention.
