Optimized Caloric-proteic Nutrition in Septic and Septic Shock Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this pilot randomized prospective controlled trial the investigators intend to compare the use of a nutritional therapy based on caloric intake determined by indirect calorimetry and high protein intake with nutritional regimen based on 25 Kcal / kg / day and protein intake usually recommended for critically ill patients (1.4 to 1.5 grams / kg / day of protein).
