Protein power: could a High-Protein diet get pneumonia patients off ventilators faster?
NCT ID NCT07634328
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a high-protein diet helps patients on breathing machines with severe pneumonia recover faster. Researchers will compare patients getting a high-protein diet to those on a standard-protein diet, tracking how long they need the ventilator and whether they regain muscle strength. The goal is to see if better nutrition can improve outcomes for these critically ill patients.
