EPRUCIL: Efficacy of PRUcalopride in Critically Ill Patients With Paralytic ILeus
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Paralytic ileus is a common intestinal dysfunction in critically ill patients. There are still no established the effective medications except correcting the primary causes and prokinetics trial which limited in efficacy and potential adverse events.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Prucalopride, a highly selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist, accelerates gastrointestinal transit which may reduce severity of ileus. Furthermore, there is no report of serious cardiac and neurological side effects. We aim to evaluate the efficacy of prucalopride as a prokinetic of choice on paralytic ileus in critically ill patients.
