NCT ID NCT06164301
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving a special liquid nutrition formula soon after C-section helps critically ill mothers in the ICU get enough protein and energy. 83 women participated, and researchers measured their protein intake and satisfaction with recovery. The goal was to see if this approach improves recovery within an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program.
