Total energy and the amount of protein supplied were insufficient compared to the recommended amount. The duration of ventilator use was shorter in the isocaloric nutrition group than in the hypocaloric nutrition group. The association between shortened ventilator use and isocaloric nutrition requires further investigation as a potential intervention to reduce the risk of complications such as ventilator-related pneumonia.
