Clinical Trial: Gut Microbiota Structure, Functional and Metabolic Profiles, and Composite Biomarkers in ICU Adults With Refractory Enteral Feeding Intolerance

U.S., Oct. 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07864844) titled 'Gut Microbiota Structure, Functional and Metabolic Profiles, and Composite Biomarkers in ICU Adults With Refractory Enteral Feeding Intolerance' on Oct. 01.

Brief Summary: Some adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) cannot receive enough nutrition through a feeding tube because of persistent digestive problems, even after standard measures to improve feeding. This condition is called refractory enteral feeding intolerance. The community of microorganisms living in the gut, known as the gut microbiota, and the substances produced by these microorganisms and the body may be associated with feeding tolerance and recovery.
