Official title
Improving Preoperative Screening and Postoperative Nutrition in Trauma Patients: Does it Decrease Muscle Wasting or Complications
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of the proposed study is twofold: 1) The investigators will evaluate ultrasound imaging to screen trauma patients to identify patients at increased risk of postoperative complications associated with sarcopenia. 2) The investigators will evaluate a commercially-available oral nutritional supplement that has previously been evaluated in critically-ill intensive care patients and shown benefit for decreasing complications including decreased wound healing complications, decreased pressure ulcers, decreased skeletal muscle loss due to immobilization, and decreased one-year mortality.
