NCT ID NCT07529522
First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving critically ill patients on breathing machines less protein (0.6-0.8 g/kg per day) during their early ICU stay leads to a better quality of life after leaving the hospital, compared to the standard amount (1.3 g/kg per day). About 1,026 adults will take part across multiple hospitals. The goal is to see if lower protein intake helps patients feel better and recover more fully over the following months.
