ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how to improve nutrition for patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Many ICU patients don't get enough calories and protein, which can lead to serious problems like infections and longer recovery times. The trial is testing a new software called Nutrow®, which helps healthcare providers keep track of how much nutrition patients are supposed to receive and how much they actually get. By using Nutrow® along with another device called Feedim®, researchers hope to make sure that ICU patients receive the right amount of nutrition before they can eat normally again.

To participate in this study, patients must be at least 18 years old and registered with the French Social Security system. They should be in the ICU for the first time, have been there for at least three days, and be receiving nutritional support. Before joining, patients or their family members will be fully informed about the study and must give their consent. Participants can expect to receive close monitoring of their nutritional intake and support from the research team throughout the study. This trial aims to improve patient care and recovery by ensuring that nutritional needs are met effectively.
