WEB160614 - Part 2: Comparisons of the Current Guidelines to the 2009 Guidelines - What Has Changed and What Has Stayed the Same?

Moderator: Beth Taylor DCN, RD, LD, CNSC

In response to recently released guidelines, ASPEN has developed a webinar training series 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. This webinar training series will involve an exploration of the guidelines and then allow 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. There will be an opportunity to engage in discussion with authors of the guidelines each week.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe which recommendations that were included in the 2009 guidelines were strengthened or weakened by the addition of data to the new guidelines up until December 31, 2013
2. Summarize new supporting literature that reinforces practice concepts that are unchanged from the 2009 guidelines
3. 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)
