Massive ICU study questions routine acid-blocker use
NCT ID NCT02467621
First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving a common acid-reducing drug (a proton pump inhibitor) to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) helps prevent stress ulcers and stomach bleeding, and whether it affects survival. Over 3,300 critically ill patients with risk factors like shock or mechanical ventilation took part. The goal was to find out the true benefits and harms of this routine practice.
