About this trial
The aim of this cluster, crossover, randomised controlled trial is to compare two standard arms of treatment for the replacement of phosphate in critically ill patients.
We hypothesise that protocolised restricted phosphate replacement, compared to protocolised liberal phosphate replacement, will result in reduced administration of phosphate with similar clinical outcomes.
All eligible Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients will be included during their admission with the selected protocol for that period as per usual practice and treatment standards.
