Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-center, multi-ICU prospective observational trial evaluating current nutritional practice and its influence of the physical function of critically ill patients.


Clinical Trial Description

The investigators propose a prospective observational, single-center, multi-intensive care unit trial to evaluate the influence of current nutritional practice on the physical outcome in critically ill patients. At least 100 consecutive patients requiring surgery, who are admitted to any surgical ICU at the University Hospital RWTH Aachen will be recruited. Nutritional practices, such as dosage, timing and route of administration of the nutrition, as well as complications regarding the nutrition will be recorded and analyzed longitudinally from ICU-admission until hospital discharge. Patient outcomes, such as ICU- and hospital length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, organ dysfunction, complications and infections will be evaluated. To assess physical function of the patient, muscle mass, muscle strength, the ability of the patient to self-mobilize and perform every day activities will be measured. This observational trial aims to assess the current standard of nutritional practice in the ICU, to detect problems and complications and to gather first evidences about the influence of nutrition on the physical function of the patient. This study also aims to compare the outcome of the predefined subgroups of critically ill patients. ;
