Hypocaloric vs. Full Energy Enteral Feeding in Critically Ill Patients

NCT01665664 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 200

Last updated 2012-08-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Underfeeding in the critically ill patient is a common observable fact throughout intensive care units. Patients who develop caloric deficit during their stay in the ICU have been shown in previous reports to be associated with increased complications such as increased rate of infections, and nosocomial blood stream infections. Yet, other studies have shown that patients with moderate caloric deficit may be associated with better outcome than patients who receive higher levels of caloric intake.

Conditions

  • Enteral Feeding

Interventions

OTHER

Hypocaloric feeding

Daily calorimetry for the first 6 days will be performed with determination of REE and the required amount of calories needed for the next 24 hours. In this group only 20% of REE will be provided but not less than 300 kcal/day.
