About this study
This trial is testing whether continuing nutrition up to the time of surgery (tracheostomy) in patients with breathing tubes decreases nutrition interruptions, thereby increasing food intake. 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.
Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
