Role of ultrasound in the nutritional assessment of critically ill patients.
This study examined the loss of mass and function in various muscles, and as we expected, the use of ultrasound began to be standardized in critically ill patients.
Parenteral Nutrition: Current Use, Complications, and Nutrition Delivery in Critically Ill Patients.
The main aim was to assess the current use, complications, and nutrition delivery associated with parenteral nutrition administration in adult critically ill patients, especially when used early and as the initial route.
Adequacy of protein and calorie delivery according to the expected calculated targets: a day-by-day assessment in critically ill patients undergoing enteral feeding.
This study describes the daily rate of administered calories and proteins according to the expected calculated targets. Also, the impact of calorie adequacy, deficit or excess on relevant clinical outcomes, was explored.
The Benefits of Parenteral Nutrition (PN) Versus Enteral Nutrition (EN) Among Adult Critically Ill Patients: What is the Evidence? A Literature Review.
The aim of this review is to address the question: In critically ill adult patients requiring nutrition support, does enteral nutrition compared to parenteral nutrition favorably impact clinical outcomes and health-care costs?
Dietary Management of Blood Glucose in Medical Critically Ill Overweight and Obese Patients: An Open-Label Randomized Trial.
The study tested whether an enteral nutrition formula with very high-protein- and low-carbohydrate-facilitated glucose control delivered higher protein concentrations within a hypocaloric protocol.
Changes of plasma acetylcholine and inflammatory markers in critically ill patients during early enteral nutrition: A prospective observational study.
Critically ill patients treated with early enteral nutrition were observed to explore whether this treatment affected Ach levels and inflammation.
Enteral vs. parenteral nutrition in septic shock: are they equivalent?
Clinical evidence and updated guideline recommendations on the effects of enteral vs.
parenteral nutrition in adult critically ill patients with (septic) shock.
Erythromycin versus metoclopramide for post-pyloric spiral nasoenteric tube placement: a randomized non-inferiority trial.
Comparison of erythromycin and metoclopramide in facilitating post-pyloric placement of self-propelled spiral nasoenteric tubes in critically ill patients.
Optimal Time and Target for Evaluating Energy Delivery after Adjuvant Feeding with Small Bowel Enteral Nutrition in Critically Ill Patients at High Nutrition Risk.
This retrospective cohort study investigates optimal time and target for evaluating patients with Small bowel enteral nutrition at high nutrition risk.
A prospective study of energy and protein intakes in critically ill patients.
Prospective study data were collected from six different intensive care units. The patients' weights, heights, ulna length, knee height, MAC, Calf C, and Wrist C. were measured Nutritional need was calculated based upon dietary ESPEN guidelines.
