Video Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of nutrition therapy in critical care patients. They explain that nutrition support therapy, such as enteral or parenteral nutrition, can relieve or heal disorders and prevent malnutrition. They highlight the changes that occur in critical illness, including a cessation of intake and breakdown of muscles. Lack of nutrition can lead to inflammatory conditions and a disruption of the intestinal microbiome. The speaker emphasizes the importance of maintaining the intestinal mucosa and supporting the immune system through proper nutrition. They also discuss the role of nutrition in maintaining homoeostasis and fighting off toxins. The speaker presents evidence that early enteral nutrition has been associated with improved outcomes in patients, including decreased mortality, infections, and length of stay. They conclude by encouraging the audience to view nutrition as therapy rather than just support.
