Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients admitted to the ICU or EICU who meet the following criteria: 1.Patients aged 18 years or older. 2.Patients expected to require intubated mechanical ventilation for more than 7 days. 3.Patients who, at the time of admission to the ICU or EICU, are assessed by their physician as likely to require enteral nutrition (EN) for more than 7 days. 4.Patients who are scheduled to adapt the ICU nutrition protocol and EN algorithm and start EN within 48 hours of ICU or EICU admission. 5.Patients who have been fully informed about the study, understand it thoroughly, and from whom free and informed consent has been obtained, either personally or through a legally authorized representative.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study: 1.Patients with an allergy to milk or soy. 2.Patients who, according to their physician, medically require a different type of enteral nutrition. 3.Patients admitted to the ICU for postoperative observation. 4.Patients expected to be discharged from the ICU or hospital within two days. 5.Patients with gastrointestinal abnormalities (such as gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, or stricture). 6.Patients who are already receiving nutritional therapy through enteral nutrition (EN) or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) at the time of admission to the ICU or EICU. 7.Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine levels of 2.0 mg/dL or higher). 8.Patients with severe liver dysfunction (bilirubin levels of 2.0 mg/dL or higher). 9.Patients undergoing renal replacement therapy. 10.Patients receiving analgesic doses significantly exceeding the normal therapeutic range. 11.Patients who are pregnant, may be pregnant, within 28 days postpartum, or are breastfeeding. 12.Patients whom the principal investigator or co-investigator deems unsuitable for safe participation in the study.
