SCCM Resource Library-Identifying At-Risk ICU Patients for PN

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, the speaker shares cases from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), focusing on nutrition challenges in critically ill patients. The first case involves a 31-year-old trauma patient with hemorrhagic shock and severe injuries. The speaker details the nutrition management challenges this patient faced, including tube feeding and the need for perinatal nutrition during shortages. Emphasizing the importance of meeting calorie and protein goals to prevent muscle loss, the speaker notes that the patient ended up with a significant caloric deficit due to multiple surgeries and metabolic demands. In the broader context, challenges like drug shortages, particularly amino acids and lipids, are discussed. The impact of nutritional delivery on patient outcomes, including length of stay and survival, is highlighted. The speaker emphasizes alternative strategies to overcome these shortages while ensuring adequate nutrition, particularly focusing on patients vulnerable to refeeding syndrome and nutrient deficiency due to conditions like chronic critical illness.
