Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adult patients scheduled for Lewis-Santy oesophagectomy who will require intensive care post-surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are minors, pregnant women, or those with contraindications to indirect calorimetry will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on patients undergoing Lewis-Santy oesophagectomy, a complex surgical procedure with significant perioperative risks, particularly for those who are malnourished. It aims to assess the dynamics of energy expenditure during the perioperative period to improve nutritional management protocols. By evaluating patients' energy requirements and nutritional support strategies, the study seeks to enhance individualized perioperative care. The findings could lead to better outcomes for patients by optimizing their nutritional status before and after surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved nutritional protocols that enhance recovery and reduce complications for oesophagectomy patients.
How similar studies have gone: While similar studies have explored nutritional management in surgical patients, this specific approach to energy expenditure in oesophagectomy patients is relatively novel.
