No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Muscle wasting is a common finding in critically ill patients and is associated with adverse outcomes. A good strategy for avoiding or decreasing muscle loss is adding adequate quantities of protein to the nutritional therapy administered during the acute phase of the disease during the ICU stay. The aim of this prospective study is to compare the effect of different levels of protein enteral feeding on Rectus Femoris Muscle mass in mechanically ventilated patients.
