简要总结
This study tests the hypothesis that initial trophic enteral feedings will increase the time alive and free of mechanical ventilation as compared to initial goal enteral feedings in patients who are mechanically ventilated.
详细描述
Mechanically ventilated patients, within 48 hours of initiating mechanical ventilation, are randomized in a 1:1 fashion to receive trophic enteral feedings for 96 hours followed by advancement to goal feeding rates or initial advancement to goal feeding rates. Primary endpoints are ventilator free days, ICU-free days, gastrointestinal intolerances, development of nosocomial infections, and mortality.

入选标准
- •Patients will be eligible for inclusion in the study if they meet the following criteria:
- •Mechanical ventilation expected to last at least 72 hours.
- •Presence of, or primary physician's intent to place, an enteral feeding tube and begin enteral feeds.
排除标准
- •More than 48 hours elapsed since both inclusion criteria met.
- •Patient, legal representative, or physician refuses consent or is unavailable to provide consent.
- •Patient, legal representative, or physician not committed to full support (Exception: A patient will not be excluded if he/she would receive all supportive care except for attempts at resuscitation from cardiac arrest).
- •Presence of malignant or irreversible condition and estimated 28 day mortality greater than 50%.
- •Severe or refractory shock.

- •Severe malnutrition with BMI less than 18.5 and/or loss of more than 30% total body weight in the previous 6 months.
- •Neuromuscular disease impairing the ability to ventilate spontaneously.
- •Laparotomy expected within 7 days.
- •Unable to raise head of bed 45°.
- •greater than 30% total body surface area burns.

- •Presence of high-output (> 500 cc/day) enterocutaneous fistula.
- •Age less than 13 years
- •Allergy to enteral formula
