Video Summary

In this video, Chris Mogenson, a team leader dietitian specialist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, discusses the effect of obesity on nutrition support choices. He emphasizes the importance of nutrition assessment for patients with obesity and the impact of malnutrition on clinical outcomes. Mogenson also discusses energy and protein requirements for critically ill patients with obesity and recommends a hypocaloric high-protein feeding strategy. He explains the challenges of enteral feeding for patients who have had bariatric surgery and suggests involving a bariatric surgeon for decisions regarding enteral access. Mogenson also highlights the importance of micronutrient management, especially for patients with a history of bariatric surgery. He concludes by discussing long-term care and rehabilitation settings and the need to adjust nutrition support as patients progress in their recovery.
