Introduction. The optimal integration between adequate protein
intake and exercise in critically ill patients may have an impact on
short and long-term outcomes, but this hypothesis has not been
tested in studies with good methodology. In the given context, we
conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial to evaluate the
efficacy of high protein intake and early exercise versus guidelines recommended protein intake and routine physiotherapy on outcome of
critically ill patients.
Methods. We randomized mechanically ventilated patients expected
to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 4 days. We used indirect calorimetry to determine energy expenditure and guide caloric
provision to the patients randomized to the high protein and early
exercise (HPE) group and the control group. Protein intakes were 2.0 g/
kg/day and 1.4 g/kg/day respectively; while the former was submitted
to two daily sessions of cycle ergometry exercise, the latter received
routine physiotherapy. We evaluated the primary outcome physical
component summary (PCS) score at 3 and 6 months) and the secondary outcomes (handgrip strength at ICU discharge and ICU and hospital mortality).
Results. We analyzed 181 patients in the HPE (87) and control (94)
group. There was no significant difference between groups in relation
to the calories received. However, the amount of protein received by
the HPE group was significantly higher than that received by the control group (p < 0.0001). The PCS score was significantly higher in the
HPE group at 3 months (p = 0.01) and 6 months (p = 0.01). The hospital mortality was expressively higher in the control group (p = 0.006).
We found an independent association between age and 3-month PCS
and that between age and group and 6-month PCS.
Conclusion. This study showed that a high-protein intake and resistive exercise increase the survival rate and the physical quality of life of
critically ill patients.

Introduction. Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in up to 50% of patients
admitted to the intensive care units. Optimization of volume status is a
challenging step in management of AKI patients.
Methods. This study was conducted on 40 critically ill patients with
AKI. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A; volume
status was optimized by CVP/DCVP and group B; volume status was
optimized by passive leg raising (PLR) and fluid challenge induced
stroke volume variation (SVV) using echocardiography. Both..
