Funded Activity Summary

Critically ill hospitalised patients are frequently malnourished. When feeding is reestablished in malnourished patients, they often exhibit severe electrolyte imbalances and metabolic disturbances that can lead to slower recovery times, increased complications and even death. The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the benefits of a conservative approach of managing critically ill patients with refeeding syndrome.
