Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether an individualized determination of energy requirements using indirect calorimetry instead of a formula-based approach leads to an optimized nutritional support and as a consequence to an optimized nutritional status of the critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients measured by the phase angle.
