Trial summary

Sixty patients who need Parenteral nutrition for more than 48h will be assigned into two groups .Group A (n=30) patient will receive 1g/kg/day protein and group B n=30) patient will receive 2g /kg/day. In both groups caloric requirement will be fixed at 25- 30 kcal /kg/d. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Parenteral Protein Concentrations in Critically Ill Patients in Icu (Comparative Study)

Sixty patients who need Parenteral nutrition for more than 48h will be assigned into two groups .Group A (n=30) patient will receive 1g/kg/day protein and group B n=30) patient will receive 2g /kg/day. In both groups caloric requirement will be fixed at 25- 30 kcal /kg/d.

Read the detailed description

In this study after obtaining approval from our hospital ethics committee, a written informed consent will be obtained from patient's next of kin.

Sixty patients who need PN for more than 48h will be assigned into two groups .Group A (n=30) patient will receive 1g/kg/day protein and group B n=30) patient will receive 2g /kg/day. In both groups caloric requirement will be fixed at 25- 30 kcal /kg/d.

Inclusion criteria:

Age: from 18 to 60 years Sex : male or female Predicted to be in icu ≥ 48 hs Predicted to have PN for> 48 hs.

Exclusion criteria:

Pregnant female Hepatic patients Renal patients Age <18 years

Technique of the study :

60 abdominal surgery/trauma ICU patients who have a contraindication or intolerance to enteral nutrition(EN),will be fed parenterally within 24-48 h from admission and divided according to the protein delivery into two groups.

Group A , those patients will receive parenteral proteins in a dose of 1 g/kg/day.

Group B, those patients will receive parenteral proteins in a dose of 2g/kg /day The nutrition will be delivered through a central line and using separate bottles technique ,because of the lack of a compounding unit and commercial bags in our hospital, After exclusion of the protein calories (will be given as 10%aa )the rest of energy requirement will be divided between carbohydrates (glucose25%)and lipids(SMOF20%) in a ratio of 60:40 Serum electrolytes, blood glucose, lipid profile and serum creatinine will be monitored and corrected regularly in every patient

The two groups will be compared as regarding the following :

hand grip strength Time of staying on Icu Time of staying in hospital Ultrasound biceps muscle thickness Nitrogen balances

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing parenteral protein 1 g/kg and Parenteral nutrition 2 g/kg in people with Hand Muscle Strain, run by Minia University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

hand grip strength (time frame: 10 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Aug 2021.
