Enteral Nutrition Infusion Rate and Gastric Function

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2018
A complex neurohumoral feedback mechanism regulates gastric emptying of enteral nutrition through changes in gastric motility. In this investigation, we aim to investigate the impact of different infusion rates of enteral nutrition on gastric motility, gastric emptying rate, epigastric symptoms and satiation. Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging will be used to validate an extended 13C‐octanoate breath test for gastric emptying of a liquid test meal that is infused over 2 hours. Furthermore, the reliability of a manual position check of the VIPUN Balloon catheter will be confirmed with radiographic imaging. Finally, the data will be used for the data driven optimization of the VIPUN MI algorithm.
