Nutrition support guided by metabolism for ICU patients
This trial tests whether providing nutrition that is precisely matched to your body's energy needs can improve recovery for patients on breathing machines. It uses a special test to measure your metabolism and adjust the feeding accordingly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation).
- Your doctors expect you to stay in the ICU for more than 3 days.

This trial studies whether a planned nutrition plan, along with early physiotherapy (physical therapy), can improve outcomes for adults who expect to stay in the ICU for at least 7 days. It includes people who need feeding through a tube and/or special IV nutrition while on a breathing machine.
This study looks at how the body produces energy in critically ill patients on breathing machines. It compares energy production between ICU patients and healthy volunteers to find better ways to support recovery.
This trial compares giving tube feeding continuously versus taking breaks to see which approach helps critically ill patients' metabolism better. It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube and will be fed through a stomach tube.
This study tests whether a personalized nutrition plan from a dietitian for 6 months can help people who have been seriously ill in the ICU recover better. It focuses on patients who had organ failure and who live in Norway.
This study looks at how nutrition is given to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand current practices and may help improve care for future patients.
This trial compares different ways of providing early nutrition (tube feeding) to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are too sick to eat on their own. It aims to find the best approach to help recovery.
