About this trial

This study compares enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition in critically ill adult patients recovering from shock while receiving decreasing doses of vasopressors in the intensive care unit.

Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either enteral or parenteral nutrition during the early recovery phase of shock.

The study aims to determine whether enteral nutrition improves clinical outcomes, including ICU mortality and ICU-acquired infections, compared with parenteral nutrition.
