Strategies for Improving Enteral Nutrition Delivery in the ICU
Presented by
Certification Available:
2.0 CE for Nurses; 2.0 CPEU for Dietitians / Dietetic Technicians - CDR level: III
Course Description
This program describes large RCTs that may have contributed to the confusion around full vs. trophic feeds in the ICU patient and explain why these large RCTs should be reviewed closely before changing practice. Clinicians should not dismiss all of the previous early enteral feeding studies that clearly demonstrate positive outcomes. Dr. Heyland reviews some of the flaws in the large RCTs and reminds us that we have to look at the amount of calories and protein delivered compared to controls in addition to the heterogeneity of the study subjects. Presented by Daren Heyland, MD, FRCPC, MSc
