Optimized Caloric-proteic Nutrition in Septic and Septic Shock Patients

March 14, 2022 updated by: José Raimundo Araujo de Azevedo, Hospital Sao Domingos

The Impact of Optimized Caloric-proteic Nutrition on Clinical Outcome and Physical Component Summary (PCS) of Quality of Life in Septic and Septic Shock Patients

In this pilot randomized prospective controlled trial the investigators intend to compare the use of a nutritional therapy based on caloric intake determined by indirect calorimetry and high protein intake with nutritional regimen based on 25 Kcal / kg / day and protein intake usually recommended for critically ill patients (1.4 to 1.5 grams / kg / day of protein).
