Participant Flow

This study examines whether a high-protein diabetes-specific formula reduces insulin needs, improves glycemic control and reduces ICU-adquired infection in critically ill, hyperglycemic patients on mechanical ventilation (MV)

The study was performed over the period April 2010 to May 2012. A website was constructed to record data and to randoize patients to each EN formula. Data were collected online using an electronic case report form.
