The PRE-VAIL Study 259

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07176624 is an interventional study for ARDS (Moderate or Severe), Prone Position, Enteral Nutrition Feeding, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Admission that is recruiting. It started on 14 September 2025 with plans to enroll 259 participants. Led by The First Hospital of Jilin University, it is expected to complete by 20 February 2028. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 9 February 2026.
Brief Summary
During the prone position, there may be an increase in intragastric pressure. The investigators focus on a scientific question: Whether reducing enteral nutrition before the prone position will benefit patients with severe mechanically ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

The experimental group had the enteral nutrition dose reduced before the prone position, while the control group did not have th...

Detailed Description
During the prone position, there may be an increase in intragastric pressure. The investigators focus on a scientific question: Whether reducing enteral nutrition before the prone position will benefit patients with severe mechanically ventilated ARDS.

The experimental group had the enteral nutrition dose reduced before the prone position, while the control group did not have the enteral nutrition dose reduced

ExperimentalEnteral nutrition reduction group
Before the prone position, the gastric contents are aspirated with a syringe, and the dose of enteral nutrition reduction is determined based on the different amounts of gastric residue. If the residual volume in the stomach is less than 200ml, the enteral nutrition intake will be reduced by one third. Gastric residual volume 200-500ml: Reduce enteral nutrition by half. If the residual gastric volume is greater than ...Show More

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
The incidence of gastric retention during prone position
The incidence of gastric retention (with a single gastric residual volume \> 200ml) during prone position.
Acute stage of critical illness (within 7 days of Intensive Care Unit (ICU))
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
The frequency of gastric retention during the prone position
The number of times of gastric retention (with a single gastric residual volume \> 200ml) per unit time during prone position (times per day)
Acute stage of critical illness (within 7 days of ICU)
The incidence of diarrhea during ICU stay
Having three or more loose or liquid stools per day, with a stool weight greater than 200-250g/d (or more than 250ml/d)
Acute stage of critical illness (within 7 days of ICU)
EN interruption rate
High gastric residual volume (single dose \> 500ml) or serious gastrointestinal adverse events lead to the need to suspend EN administration
Acute stage of critical illness (within 7 days of ICU)
The incidence of Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among the participants
Pulmonary infectious inflammation that occurs 48 hours after the end of ventilator treatment is a type of hospital-acquired pneumonia
During the length of stay in the ICU (from day 1 to a maximum of 28 days)
Nutrition compliance rate
Whether the patient reached 80% of the nutritional (calories: 25kcal/kg/day and protein :1.3g/kcal) target on the 7th day of hospitalization in the ICU
The seventh day in the ICU
Gastric antral cross-sectional area (ACSA) measured by ultrasound after the end of prone positioning
The ultrasound cross-sectional area of the antrum of the stomach after adjusting to the normal position at the end of the prone position
After each prone position during the ICU stay
Length of stay in the ICU
The number of days spent in the ICU
During the length of stay in the ICU (from day 1 to a maximum of 180 days)
ICU mortality
Whether there was death during the ICU stay
During the length of stay in the ICU (from day 1 to a maximum of 180 days)
28-day mortality
Whether the patient died on the 28th day after being admitted to the ICU
Day 28 after being admitted to the ICU
90-day mortality
Whether the patient died on the 90th and 180th days after being admitted to the ICU
The 90th day after being admitted to the ICU
180-day mortality
Whether the patient died on the 180th day after being admitted to the ICU
Day 180 after being admitted to the ICU
The incidence of gastric retention during ICU stay
The incidence of gastric retention within 7 days of ICU hospitalization (The single gastric residual volume is greater than 200ml)
Within 1 to 7 days of hospitalization in the ICU
