Official title
A Multicenter, Cluster Randomized Trial of Enhanced Protein-Energy Provision Via the Enteral Route Feeding Protocol in Critically Ill Patients: The PEP uP Protocol
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Critically ill patients are consistently underfed. Feeding protocols are standardized system tools used to guide nutrition practices, but to date have failed to improve delivery of nutrition. The PEP uP Protocol is a new enhanced feeding protocol. Twenty North American Intensive Care Units (ICUs) will assess baseline nutrition practices. Ten ICUs will be randomized to implement the PEP uP Protocol and educational intervention, and ten will be randomized to continue usual care. Nutrition practices will be reevaluated 6 months after baseline. The investigators hypothesize that the PEP uP Protocol will increase delivery of nutrition, and may ultimately lead to improved survival of critical illness.
