Conditions

  • Pressure Ulcer

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Peptamen®

Participants in the intervention arm will be categorised into those who are not currently taking oral nutritional supplement and those who are currently on oral nutritional supplements. Those who are not currently taking oral nutritional supplement will be started on Peptamen® while those who are currently on oral nutritional supplements will have to convert to Peptamen® solely. The dietician will determine the amount of Peptamen® required per day based on the recommendations of the product information. Should the participant's daily protein requirement not be met be Peptamen® alone, the dietician will recommend additional whey protein to be added in the form of Beneprotein® Instant Protein Powder. Beneprotein® is a concentrated source of high-quality whey protein that can be added to most foods, liquids or enteral formulas.

OTHER

Usual Care

They will be categorised into those who are not currently taking oral nutritional supplement and those who are currently on oral nutritional supplements (non-100% whey i.e. not on Peptamen® or Beneprotein®). They will consume their regular diet in accordance with the dietician's recommendations.
