Nutrition support in the critically ill

Abstract

Together, current findings indicate that intragastric enteral nutrition should be initiated within 24 h of admission to ICU and supplementary parenteral nutrition should be avoided. Future research should aim to clarify the optimal energy delivery for best clinical outcomes, and the role of small intestinal function and its flora in nutritional care and clinical outcomes.

The Effect of the Immediate Postoperative Nutritional Status in Liver Transplant Recipients in SICU on Clinical Outcome

“…동안 부적절한 영양공급을 받고 있는 것으로 보고되었다 (Huynh, Chapman, & Nguyen, 2013). 이는 적절한 영양 요구량과 공급량에 대 한 의료진의 인식 및 지식부족 등으로 (Kim, Kil, Chu, Jang, Jung, & Seo, et al, 2007;Kim, Kwon, Lee, Kwak, & Kim, 2011 (Table 1).…”

Parenteral and enteral nutrition in surgical critical care

“…This supports the notion that parenteral nutrients are not utilized as effectively as enteral nutrients. 2 …”

Use of pH Cutoff Level for Enteral Nutrition

“…Particularly in the case of pediatric critical care where hypercatabolism and nutrient deprivation combined with low body nutritional reserves in infancy places the infant at increased risk of malnutrition (Huynh et al 2013). Malnutrition is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality and is associated with muscle wasting, impaired organ function, decreased immune function, increased risk of infection and poor wound healing, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and increased length of hospital stay (Huynh et al 2013;Artinian et al 2006;Rogers et al 2003).…”

“…Benefits of enteral nutrition include prevention of gut atrophy, improved feeding tolerance and nutrient substrate utilization, maintaining favorable gut microbiota, enhanced immune function, and decreased risk of infections. It is also considered less invasive, less costly, and a safer option than parenteral nutrition (Huynh et al 2013).…”
