First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving protein in short bursts (intermittent feeding) is better than continuous feeding for preventing muscle wasting in critically ill patients. About 68 adults in the ICU will be randomly assigned to one of two feeding methods. The main goal is to see which approach helps patients reach their daily protein target faster, which may support muscle recovery.
