About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to systematically evaluate whether peptide-type enteral nutrition (EN) formulations improve protein uptake efficiency in high-risk groups at ICU PEI, using targeted amino acid metabolomics and gut microbiota co-metabolomics as core quantitative indicators.

Researchers will compare protein absorption efficiency of short-chain peptide and complete protein enteral nutrition formulas in high-risk populations for PEI in the ICU

Participants will:

Enteral nutrition was administered for ICU critically ill patients with high-risk factors for PEI
