Study Summary
This study plans to learn more about the impact of enteral nutrition on bacteria in critically ill trauma patients with brain injury. Specifically, it seeks to understand the effect that a prebiotic containing enteral feeding formula (Nutraflora scFOS in Vital AF) has on the gut, oral, and skin bacteria. A prebiotic is a special form of dietary fiber that acts as a fertilizer for good bacteria. The prebiotic Nutraflora scFOS has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is not considered investigational as used in this study. Enteral feeding is a way to give nutrition to critically ill people who are unable to eat.
Interventions
- OTHER Nutraflora scFOS
- OTHER Osmolite
