SCCM Resource Library-Immunonutrition in Sepsis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this talk on immunonutrition, the speaker emphasizes the importance of feeding ICU patients properly and the role of macronutrients in improving patient outcomes. Instead of focusing on individual nutrients, the speaker highlights the need for a targeted nutrition approach. Early enteral feeding, starting with trophic nutrition, is recommended as it has been shown to have non-nutritional benefits and improve outcomes. The gut is emphasized as a critical organ in driving organ failure, and feeding helps protect and fuel the gut. The benefits of the new fish oil and olive oil lipids over soy lipids are discussed, including their anti-inflammatory effects. Proper nutrition is also important in COVID-19 patients, as feeding early within three days has been shown to improve outcomes. The speaker also mentions the importance of repleting micronutrients in patients on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and recommends the use of high-protein oral supplements with anabolic agents such as HMB to help patients recover muscle mass and strength. Overall, the talk highlights the need for personalized and targeted nutrition interventions in ICU patients to improve their long-term outcomes and quality of life.
