We assessed the feasibility of administering a leucine-enriched essential amino acid (L-EAA) supplement to mechanically ventilated trauma patients with the aim of assessing the effect on skeletal muscle mass and function. Methods A randomised feasibility study was performed over six months in intensive care (ICU). Patients...

Conservative management could result in fewer complications, reduced surgical time and lower cost. The purpose of this study is to determine if any difference exists...
