NCT04438473

Brief Summary

The current study will enroll critically ill patients who are going to require enteral nutrition support and randomize them to standard formula enteral nutrition or pectin-supplemented enteral nutrition in 7 days. The occurrence of enteral nutrition-related complications will be recorded and compared between groups. The study is trying to assess whether the use of pectin will improve the enteral nutrition-related complications in critically ill patients.
