Official title
Enteral Nutrition in the Open Abdomen
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Enteral Feeding (EN) in patients with a traumatic bowel injury requiring an open abdomen impacts outcomes. Patients who receive EN will be compared to those who remain nil-per-os (NPO). Additionally, an internal study control will be performed by analyzing concurrent injured patients requiring an open abdomen who did not have a bowel injury. Specific aims: Hypothesis 1: EN in patients with a traumatic bowel injury requiring an open abdomen improves fascial closure rate compared to patients who remain NPO. Hypothesis 2: EN in patients with a traumatic bowel injury requiring an open abdomen reduces infectious complications compared to patients who remain NPO. Hypothesis 3: EN in patients with a traumatic bowel injury requiring an open abdomen have a lower mortality rate compared to patients who remain NPO.
