Clinical Trial Summary

Adequate nutritional support is an essential element for achieving favourable outcomes in critically ill patients. Therefore, an accurate determination of patients' energy needs is required to optimize nutritional support and reduce the harmful effects of under- and over-feeding. Currently, indirect calorimetry is considered as a gold standard for measuring energy expenditure during critical illness. This randomized study aims to investigate the impact of indirect calorimetry guided nutrition therapy on clinical outcomes such as ICU. Mortality, hospital mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of I.C.U./hospital stay and mascle wasting. The investigators hypothesis that nutrition therapy guided by IC will improve clinical outcomes in severely ill patients


Clinical Trial Description

This is a single-blind randomized control study. Eligible participants are randomly assigned within 24 hrs of ICU. admission in two groups - Intervention group: The calorie needs will be determined by indirect calorimetry. - Control group: a routine standard weight-based equation (20-25kcal/kg ideal body weight/day) will be used to estimate the energy requirements of critically ill patients. Daily energy and protein data will be recorded for a maximum of 12 evaluable days (nutritional days) or until death or discharge from ICU.while outcome data will be collected for a maximum of 28 days. ;
