Enteral Nutrition Delivery in Prone Position Ventilated Patients With Moderate to Severe ARDS

Inclusion Criteria: * ARDS patients who meet the Berlin criteria for ARDS and have a P/F ratio ≤ 200mmHg. * Patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and clinically judged to require prone ventilation, with an anticipated daily prone positioning time of ≥12 hours and a duration of prone ventilation therapy of ≥3 days. * Patients planned to receive enteral nutrition. * Age ≥18 and ≤85 years. * Consent to sign an informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindications to enteral nutrition, such as severe intestinal ischemia, active upper gastrointestinal bleeding, high-output intestinal fistula without a distal feeding route, abdominal compartment syndrome, severe diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, etc. * Presence of shock with hemodynamic instability (norepinephrine or equivalent vasopressor dosage ≥0.5ug/kg.min) or tissue hypoperfusion (lactate \>3mmol/L). * Life-threatening hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. * Inability to tolerate prone ventilation (e.g., pregnant women, limb contractures, recent fractures, recent thoracic or abdominal surgery, pacemaker insertion within 48 hours, spinal instability, pelvic fractures, facial fractures, anticipated difficult airway). * Conditions preventing nasogastric or nasojejunal tube placement (e.g., esophageal rupture, severe esophageal varices). * Anticipated inability to start enteral nutrition within 48 hours. * Use of prokinetic agents within 48 hours prior to starting enteral nutrition. * Enteral nutrition via…
