Study Summary

This trial will test if continuing nutrition before and during tracheostomy surgery affects food intake, food entering the lungs, and lung infections.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 in the ICU who are intubated and need a tracheostomy. It's not for those under 18, unable to consent, on comfort measures or deemed brain dead within a week of enrollment, pregnant women, or prisoners.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two approaches: one where patients continue receiving nutrition right up until tracheostomy surgery versus another where feeds are stopped six hours before. The aim is to see if this affects food intake and lung complications.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include an increased risk of food entering the lungs (aspiration) or lung infections due to continuous feeding close to the time of undergoing tracheostomy surgery.
