More Protein, More Problems? The PRECISE Trial Shakes Up ICU Nutrition

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic unpacks the groundbreaking PRECISe trial, a major study published in The Lancet that challenges the long-standing belief that higher protein intake benefits critically ill patients. Contrary to expectations, patients receiving high-protein enteral nutrition (2.0 g/kg/day) had worse long-term quality of life and no functional recovery advantage compared to those on standard protein intake (1.3 g/kg/day).We break down the key findings, clinical implications, and why this research might reshape ICU nutrition guidelines. Should we rethink the "more is better" approach to protein in the critically ill?
