Comparing Metabolic Characteristics of Persistent Critically Ill Non-COVID and COVID-19 Patients

Switzerland110 participantsStarted 2019-07-01

Plain-language summary

The Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in an overwhelming number of intensive care (ICU) patient admissions, generally for acute respiratory distress, often resulting in persistent critical illness (PCI). Little is known about their metabolic and nutritional characteristics compared to other non-COVID (non-CO) categories of patients. The aim is to compare the metabolic characteristics and gastro-intestinal function of the previously admitted non-CO and COVID persistent critically ill patients, and the adherence to the ICU nutrition protocol. Prospective observation study including two consecutive cohorts of PCI, defined by a prolonged mechanical ventilation requirement longer than 10days.
