The Role of Dietary Fibre in Enteral Nutrition in Sepsis Prevention and Therapy: A Narrative Review.

This review summarizes the current evidence on the role of dietary fiber in enteral nutrition in the prevention and therapy of sepsis, focusing on critically ill patients. The aim is to discuss the implications for clinical practice and identify future directions for policy and research.

Parenteral Nutrition, Sepsis, Acute Heart Failure and Hepatotoxic Drugs Are Related to Liver Test Disturbances in Critically Ill Patients

Analysis of the relative impact of parenteral nutrition on liver dysfunction in critically ill patients, characterizing the presence of pre-existing liver disturbances, acute heart failure, sepsis, daily parenteral nutrition volume, and commonly used hepatotoxic drugs in adult ICU patients, together with daily aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, alkalic phosphatase, total bilirubin, and INR values.

An evidence-based surveillance tool to identify and report catheter/cannula bloodstream infection in patients receiving parenteral nutrition.

The aim was to establish a simple and valid surveillance tool, with consideration of changes in vital signs, to identify catheter/cannula-bloodstream infection in patients receiving parenteral nutrition.
