New nutrition program aims to protect ICU patients after breathing tube removal
NCT ID NCT07195383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special nutrition program for ICU patients after their breathing tube is removed. The program uses a tool called GUSS-ICU to guide safe eating and drinking for four days. Researchers will check if it helps reduce risks like malnutrition, dehydration, and pneumonia. About 82 adults will take part to see if this approach improves recovery.
