Summary
Brief summary
Patients who are critically ill in the in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), especially those who
need a breathing machine, can develop ulcers in the stomach that bleed. To prevent bleeding,
many such patients around the world receive a drug called pantoprazole that decreases acid
production. However, today, compared to decades ago, critically ill patients rarely develop
upper gastrointestinal bleeding. This decrease is likely due to modern medicine, better
resuscitation and earlier feeding. There may also be harms associated with pantoprazole and
other drugs that reduce acid levels in the stomach including lung infections (pneumonia) and
bowel infections (Clostridioides difficile). Studies in this area are old and of modest
quality. Therefore, it is difficult to know whether pantoprazole does decrease stomach
bleeding these days, or whether the possible harms of lung and bowel infections are actually
more common and more serious problems. The goal of this international study is to determine
if, in critically ill patients using breathing machines, the use of pantoprazole is effective
in preventing bleeding from stomach ulcers or whether it causes more problems such as lung
infection (pneumonia) and bowel infection (Clostridioides difficile), or whether pantoprazole
has no effect at all. Whether the harms are worth the benefits, and whether the benefits are
worth the costs, will be determined by an economic analysis to inform patients, families,
clinicians, and healthcare systems globally.
