Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - TARGET protocol EN 1.5 kcal/mL
Treatment: Other - TARGET protocol EN 1.0 kcal/mL

Experimental: TARGET protocol EN 1.5 kcal/mL - Enteral (EN) feed 1.5 kcal/mL. The goal rate for administration of TARGET protocol EN is 1ml/kg/hr. To calculate the goal rate, weight is based on ideal body weight.

Active comparator: TARGET protocol EN 1.0 kcal/mL - Enteral feed 1.0 kcal/mL The goal rate for administration of TARGET protocol EN is 1ml/kg/hr. To calculate the goal rate, weight is based on ideal body weight.
