Clinical Trial: Metabolic Trajectories and Protein Intake in Long-Stay Ventilated Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Patients

U.S., Dec. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07268274) titled 'Metabolic Trajectories and Protein Intake in Long-Stay Ventilated Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Patients' on Nov. 15.

Brief Summary: Survival of critically ill patients has improved, resulting in a growing population of chronically critically ill (CCI) individuals with prolonged organ dysfunction, mechanical ventilation, and high morbidity. While nutritional guidelines during the acute phase are well established, evidence on protein intake in CCI patients is limited. Inflammation may influence metabolic responses and clinical outcomes, highlighting the need for prospective studies.

The MetaChronic Study is a single-center, prospective c...
