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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests a stepwise feeding plan for children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The goal is to see if following a clear, step-by-step protocol helps kids reach their full nutrition needs sooner and reduces feeding interruptions. Researchers will compare how long children stay in the PICU before and after the new plan is put in place.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
stepwise enteral nutritional algorithm (standardized feeding protocol)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to improve nutrition delivery and shorten intensive care stays for critically ill children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals. The protocol may not significantly change outcomes compared to usual care.
