PUSH-IT Continuing Enteral Feeds for Tracheostomy

Prevent Unnecessary Surgeon Holds of Ingestions for Tracheostomy (PUSH-IT)

Sponsor

State University of New York at Buffalo

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

Feb 6, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Nutritional Deficiency Critical Illness Tracheostomy Complication

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate nutrition administration in the time around the tracheostomy in patients with breathing tubes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will continuing nutrition up to the time of surgery (tracheostomy) decrease nutrition interruptions, thereby increasing food intake? * Does continuing nutrition up to the time of surgery increase instances of food going into the lungs or lung infections? Researchers will compare patients who have nutrition withheld 6 hours prior to surgery versus those who receive nutrition up until the time of surgery to see if there are differences in food intake, instances of food entering the lungs or lung infections.
