To establish the feasibility of embedding an RCT into EMR in the ICU, we evaluated the route of phosphate replacement. The EMR screened 207 patients who met the inclusion criteria from 20 April 2022 to 30 June 2022. 162 patients were randomised and 145 patients allocated to treatment. Our study showed that it was feasible to embed screening, randomisation, and treatment allocation for an RCT within an EMR in the ICU.
