An interventional study of Hypocaloric feeding in Enteral Feeding, sponsored by Wolfson Medical Center. Status unknown at 1 site in Israel. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-08-15.
Sponsored by Wolfson Medical Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Underfeeding in the critically ill patient is a common observable fact throughout intensive care units. Patients who develop caloric deficit during their stay in the ICU have been shown in previous reports to be associated with increased complications such as increased rate of infections, and nosocomial blood stream infections. Yet, other studies have shown that patients with moderate caloric deficit may be associated with better outcome than patients who receive higher levels of caloric intake.
Therefore, the aim of our study is to establish the exact amount of calories to be delivered by indirect calorimetry individually for each patient. Thereafter, each patient will be randomized to the trophic group (hypocaloric feeding), or to the full energy delivery group.

Exclusion Criteria:
intervention - Daily calorimetry for the first 6 days will be performed with determination of REE and the required amount of calories needed for the next 24 hours. In this group only 20% of REE will be provided but not less than 300 kcal/day.
Other: Hypocaloric feeding
Daily calorimetry for the first 6 days will be performed with determination of REE and the required amount of calories needed for the next 24 hours. In this group only 100% of REE will be provided.
