Summary

The aim of this study is to perform a prospective, randomized, controlled blinded study in critically patients to assess the necessity for measuring daily resting energy expenditure as a guide for nutritional support. Our hypothesis is that tight caloric control will reduce the rate of new infections.

Study Design :Multi-center, randomized, single blinded, controlled study. Study Population: newly-admitted, adult mechanically ventilated ICU patients.

Conditions

  • Mechanical Ventilation Complication

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Indirect Calorimetry measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure .

Patients in this group will receive enteral nutrition/parenteral nutrition or combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition according to the individual energy requirements calculated by Indirect Calorimetry.
