Video Summary
In this presentation, the speaker discusses the importance of monitoring and assessing internal nutrition for patients in the ICU. They emphasize the need to evaluate tolerance and safety of internal nutrition, as well as the appropriateness of the dosage. The speaker introduces a scoring system called the iFeed scoring system, which helps determine the safety of feeding orally. They also mention the importance of abdominal exams and monitoring GI symptoms. The speaker highlights the significance of monitoring the muscle mass of patients in the ICU, as well as the need to protect internal access. They discuss strategies for dealing with tube feed diarrhea and the risk of aspiration.

Finally, they explain the limitations of monitoring albumin and prealbumin levels as nutrition markers.
