Comparative Study between High Caloric Nutrition and Net Caloric Nutrition and Their Correlation with Organs Failure and Mortality in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients

Abstract

SUMMARY Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute life threatening inflammatory lung injury manifested by hypoxia and stiff lungs due to increased pulmonary vascular permeability and almost always requiring mechanical ventilation support. ARDS represents an acute response to diverse provoking trigger factors and etiologies, resulting in bilateral lung opacities on radiography and hypoxemia. This was a prospective, cohort, randomized, comparative study that was conducted on include adults’ patients with ARDS who was admitted to ICU Units in El Galaa Military Hospitals throughout 6 months. In comparison between the two studied groups regarding Age, Sex, BMI, Smoking, HTN, Diabetes, Congestive cardiac failure, Chronic renal failure, Peripheral vascular disease, Muscloskl et al disease, Serum creatinine (μmol/L), Serum Albumin(g/L) , we found that there was no difference found between two groups regarding Age, Sex, BMI, Smoking, HTN, Diabetes, Congestive cardiac failure, Chronic renal failure, Peripheral vascular disease, Muscloskletal disease, Serum creatinine (μmol/L), Serum Albumin(g/L)
