View clinical trials related to Enteral Feeding Intolerance.
Filter by:The objective of the study is to compare the time of attainment of full enteral feeds in preterm neonates between 27-32 weeks of gestation started on early total enteral feeding (ETEF) with those started on conventional enteral feeding (CEF).
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the efficacy of enteral amoxicillin for the treatment of children with feeding intolerance in pediatric intensive care unit. Children with feeding intolerance will be randomized into study and comparison groups. The study group will receive amoxicillin 10 mg/kg by nasogastric tube 3 times daily 10 minutes before bolus gastric feeding for 7 days. The comparison group will receive equal volume of distilled water as a placebo. The primary outcome will be the improvement of feeding intolerance on day 7 study timepoint.
Comparison of the effects of bolus, intermittent and continuous enteral feeding techniques on plasma glucose level and enteral feeding intolerance in adult intensive care unit patients with sepsis.
In this proposed clinical trial, the investigators will randomize 80 very preterm (VPT) infants to receive either early (between day 4 and 7) or delayed (between day 10 and 14) fortification and determine if providing early protein supplementation through early fortification results in higher FFM-for-age z scores and more diversity in the gut microbiome.
to compare the effectiveness as well as the safety of prucalopride against metoclopramide as the first line treatment for feeding intolerance in critically ill patients.
This study prospectively observed the complications intended as diarrhea or sti-sis that critically ill patients developed within 7 days after ICU admission. In addition, secondary aims investigated through bioimpedenziometry the loss of lean body mass and changes in phase angle during the same period of ICU stay.
Malnutrition is associated with negative impact on morbidity and mortality of critically ill patients. Therefore, in patients unable of peroral intake, the nutritional support is indicated. The preferred form of nutritional support is enteral, the more natural form, compared to parenteral. The enteral nutrition is cheaper and is associated with better outcomes and lower incidence of associated complications. The intolerance of enteral feeding is common in critically ill patients, and is associated with insufficient energy and protein intake, that could be linked with the complications such aspiration pneumonia. The optimization of enteral feeding tolerance is therefore one of the research priorities. Implementation of feeding protocols is associated with better tolerance. The enteral feeding could be administered as a oligomeric or polymeric formula. The are preliminary data from adult population pointing at better tolerance of oligomeric feeding formula.
achievement of optimal postnatal growth by adequate enteral nutrition in critically ill preterm infants is a challenge of NICU. signs like abdominal distension, reflux, vomiting, nec is a factors of discontinuing fedding in preterm. this factors plays a role in decisions about which method of gavage feeding is adopted. we compare two different feeding method to achive less fedding tolerence.
To examine the effects of sensorimotor interventions applied to in preterm infants on readiness for feeding and oral feeding success.
Blenderized diets consist of a wide range of table foods such as fruits, vegetables, meat and legumes, pureed in a blender and administered via gastrostomy tube. In a recent study, the investigators reported that children receiving blenderized feeds via gastrostomy had fewer total admissions and respiratory admissions, total emergency room visits, and improved gastrointestinal symptom scores compared to those fed formula. The goal of this project is to understand how these diets affect gastroesophageal reflux burden.
