Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the prokinetic effect of metoclopramide on gastric emptying in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients .

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

More than 50% of patients in ICU have gastric dysmotility, which leads to slow gastric emptying(GE) and high gastric residual volume (GRV) and is associated with increased mortality in these patients

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
80 participants
Allocation:

Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Masking:
Double (Participant, Investigator)
Masking Description:
The drugs will be prepared by a dedicated anesthesiologist who is aware of the allocated group and will have no subsequent role in the study.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Metoclopramide group

Patients will receive 10 mg intravenous metoclopramide / 6 hours.

Drug: Metoclopramide
Cases will receive 10 mg intravenous metoclopramide every 6 hours.

Placebo Comparator: Control group

Patients will receive the same volume of intravenous placebo / 6 hours.

Drug: Placebo
Cases will receive the same volume of IV placebo / 6 hours.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Assessment of the risk of aspiration [First 7 days of enteral feeding]

    Aspiration risk will be categorized using the system proposed by Ven de Putte and Perlas. As: patients with empty antrum and gastric residual volume < 1.5 mL/kg: low risk. patients with solid contents or gastric residual volume > 1.5 mL/kg: high risk.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia [First 7 days of enteral feeding]

    Pneumonia will be defined according to the ATS/IDSA clinical criteria and will be diagnosed if a new or progressive radiographic infiltrate is present and at least two of the three following clinical features are also present: (1) fever higher than 38°C, (2) leukocytosis or leucopenia and (3) purulent secretions. No microbiological confirmation is required for diagnosis of pneumonia. Infectious Diseases. Society of America (IDSA) and the American Thoracic. Society (ATS)

  2. Time of weaning from mechanical ventilation [From the start of enteral feeding till intensive care discharge through study completion, an average of 6months]

  3. Hospital stay [From the start of enteral feeding till intensive care discharge through study completion, an average of 6months]
