Summary

This study looked at whether taking out the nasogastric feeding tube right after removing a breathing tube helps ICU patients start eating by mouth sooner. Swallowing problems are common after ICU stays, and the feeding tube itself might delay recovery. 112 adults who had been on a breathing tube for more than 48 hours took part. The main goal was to see if early tube removal shortens the time to resume eating.
