Guidelines Introduction

The significance of nutrition in the hospital setting (especially the ICU) cannot be overstated. Critical illness is typically associated with a catabolic stress state in which patients demonstrate a systemic inflammatory response coupled with complications of increased infectious morbidity, multiple-organ dysfunction, prolonged hospitalization, and disproportionate mortality. Over the past 3 decades, exponential advances have been made in the understanding of the molecular and biological effects of nutrients in maintaining homeostasis in the critically ill population. Traditionally, nutrition support in the critically ill population was regarded as adjunctive care designed to provide exogenous fuels to preserve lean body mass and support the patient throughout the stress response. Recently, this strategy has evolved to represent nutrition therapy, in which the feeding is thought to help attenuate the metabolic

response to stress, prevent oxidative cellular injury, and favorably modulate immune responses.

Improvement in the clinical course of critical illness may be achieved by early EN, appropriate macro- and micronutrient delivery, and meticulous glycemic control. Delivering early nutrition support therapy, primarily by the enteral route, is seen as a proactive therapeutic strategy that may reduce disease severity, diminish complications, decrease LOS in the ICU, and favorably impact patient outcomes.

McCarthy, RN, PhD; Evangelia Davanos, PharmD; Todd W. Rice, MD, MSc; Gail A. Cresci, RD, PhD; Jane M. Gervasio, PharmD; Gordon S. Sacks, PharmD; Pamela R. Roberts, MD; Charlene Compher, RD, PhD; and the Society of Critical Care Medicine† and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition†.  JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr published online 15 January 2016.

*Beth Taylor and Steven McClave are co–first authors of this article.

†ASPEN and SCCM are co–last authors.

In response to these recently released guidelines, ASPEN hosted a live training course featuring three of the experts who contributed to the guidelines to educate all members of the healthcare team who work in the critical care setting.  Recordings of this course are now available as an on demand learning opportunity and includes an exploration of the guidelines and then allows for an in- depth assessment of how the guidelines should be implemented into practice for the provision of optimal nutrition care of the adult critically ill patient. 

CE Activity Overall Goal and Target Audience:

This CE activity serves to promote the process of life-long learning for physicians, dietitians, pharmacists, and nurses who specialize in the sciences of clinical nutrition and metabolism in the critical care setting. 

Practice Gap and Goal:

With newly release guidelines for the provision of nutrition therapy in the critically ill patient population healthcare providers need to be adequately trained on best practices to fully implement the guidelines into practice.  The goal of his course is to train healthcare professionals to adequately assess critically ill patients and subsequently provide adequate nutrition therapy to aid with recovery from the illness. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses regarding the quality of the evidence for development of the guidelines.
  2. Describe the concept of nutritional risk.
  3. Summarize new supporting literature that reinforces practice concepts that are unchanged from the 2009 guidelines.
  4. Discuss new supporting literature that has modified or changed the recommendations from the 2009 guidelines including expanded recommendations for specialized areas of practice (e.g., pancreatitis, trauma, burns, sepsis, post-operative, chronic critically ill, obesity).
  5. Utilize the guidelines to guide clinical decisions in a variety of complex patient cases.
