SCCM Resource Library-Follow Your Gut: Updates in Nutrition for the Critically Ill

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Keaton Smitana, a neurocritical care pharmacist, discusses updates and nutrition for critically ill patients. He presents two studies that highlight the challenges and potential solutions for achieving nutrition goals in the ICU. The first study focuses on improving protein delivery for patients receiving high-dose propofol therapy and internal nutrition. The study found that supplementing with liquid protein boluses increased protein delivery by 24-38%. The second study examines volume-based feeding as a way to optimize energy and protein delivery. The study found that volume-based feeding significantly increased energy and protein delivery compared to rate-based feeding. It also resulted in shorter ICU stays. Keaton concludes by discussing some considerations and questions for further research, such as the use of protein supplements, optimal protein intake, and barriers to implementing volume-based feeding in the ICU.
