This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether reducing the amount of nutrition patients receive through a feeding tube before they are positioned face-down (prone positioning) helps them recover better from severe lung failure. When patients lie face-down, pressure in the stomach can increase, which might cause complications. Researchers want to know if reducing feeding before this procedure makes the treatment safer and more effective.
Prone positioning is an important treatment for patients with severe lung failure who are on ventilators, but the procedure can increase pressure in the stomach and cause feeding-related complications. This trial exists to find out if reducing nutrition intake beforehand prevents these problems and improves patient outcomes.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will have their feeding amount reduced before the face-down positioning procedure based on how much food is already in their stomach, while the other group will continue feeding at the normal rate. Your medical team will monitor your progress and health outcomes throughout your ICU stay.
