Nutrition in the critically ill is key to supporting recovery and health. Sufficient and timely nutrition is required to support organ function, modulate the immune response, and prevent complications, such as infection, malnutrition, muscle wasting, and lengthened hospital stay. Critical care nutrition encompasses planned nutrition interventions (bridge enteral and parenteral nutrition) that are tailored to the patient's metabolic needs, disease process, and tolerance. This session will give an overview of evidence-based strategies for assessing nutritional needs, providing medical nutrition therapy, and monitoring patients in critical care settings. Attendees will receive strategies to optimize nutritional support, which will support recovery, improve clinical outcomes, and provide complete care for patients living with critical illness.
