High protein after abdominal surgery in the ICU
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares outcomes when patients receive different amounts of protein after abdominal surgery while in the ICU. The goal is to see if more protein helps recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the ICU after abdominal surgery (open, laparoscopic, or robotic).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- This is your first time in the ICU after this surgery.
- You do not have kidney failure needing dialysis.
- You do not have severe failure of multiple organs (SOFA score ≥9) when you entered the ICU.
- You are able to give informed consent and do not have a 'do not resuscitate' order.

This trial studies whether very high protein tube-feeding helps critically ill adults with multiple injuries recover better in the ICU. It compares feeding approaches during the time you need breathing support.
This study tests whether giving extra protein through a feeding tube can help ICU patients maintain muscle strength. It may be an option for people who are expected to stay in the ICU for at least a week and need a breathing machine.
This study tests different amounts of protein given through a feeding tube to patients on breathing machines in the ICU. Researchers want to see if the right amount of protein helps critically ill patients recover better.
This trial tests whether a high-protein diet or standard protein diet is better for critically ill patients who are at risk for refeeding syndrome (dangerous shifts in fluids and minerals when starting nutrition after starvation). The goal is to see which type of nutrition helps recovery.
This study tests whether giving a different protein through tube feeding can help critically ill adults in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are already receiving nutrition through a stomach or gut tube and are on a breathing machine.
This study tests whether different amounts of protein in tube feeding or IV nutrition affect kidney recovery in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with kidney injury. The goal is to find the best protein level to help kidneys heal while patients are critically ill.
