Slide2
Learning Objectives
Describe metabolic and nutritional changes during critical illness.
Discuss nutrition assessment in the ICU patients.
Review current guidelines for provision of nutrition support in adult critically ill patients.
Slide3
Definition of a Critically Ill Patient
American Association of Critical-Care Nurses
“Critically ill patients are defined as those patients who are at high risk for actual or potential life-threatening health problems. The more critically ill the patient is, the more likely he or she is to be highly vulnerable, unstable and complex, thereby requiring intense and vigilant nursing
care”.
Slide4Slide5
Nutrition and Malnutrition
in the Critically Ill Patient
Nutrition plays a key role for recovery from illness
Up to 50% of critically ill patients have preexisting nutritional disorders
Patients who are well nourished prior to ICU admission, develop nutritional disorders rapidly
Metabolic demands of illness and healing
Rapid fluid shifts
Loss of specific vitamins and trace elements
Extent of muscle wasting and weight loss is inversely correlated with long-term survival

Slide6
Physiological Changes During Critical Illness
Slide7
Catabolism and Urine Urea Nitrogen
Protein breakdown
Loss of nitrogen in the urine in the form of urea
16-24 g/day in critically ill
vs
10-12 g/day in healthy individuals
Loss
of 16 g
N as urea = loss of 1 lb of skeletal muscle/lean body mass per dayFunctional impairment
Respiratory muscles
respiratory failure
Heart muscles
heart failure
GI mucosa muscles diarrheaRapid development of malnutrition

Slide8
Results and Manifestations of Malnutrition in Critical Illness
Results
Loss of body cell mass
Changes in fluid/electrolytes/mineral homeostasis
Organ dysfunction
Manifestations
Impaired immune function
Prolonged dependence on mechanical ventilation
Increased rates of infection
Slide9
Terminology
Nutrition Support
Adjunctive care to provide exogenous fuels to preserve lean body mass and support the patient throughout the stress response
Nutrition Therapy
Help reduce the metabolic response to stress, prevent oxidative cellular injury, and favorably modulate immune response
Reduce disease severity, decrease complications, decrease length of stay (LOS) in the ICU, favorable patient outcomes
Slide10
Guidelines for the Provision and Assessment of Nutrition Support Therapy in the Adult Critically Ill Patient: Society of
Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) and American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.
)
Target Patient Population

Patients with
organ failure (lungs
, liver, kidney),
acute pancreatitis, trauma, traumatic brain injury, open abdomen, burns, sepsis, post-op major surgery, chronic critically ill, and critically ill obese

Hepatic failure
Acute pancreatitis
Surgical subsets: trauma, traumatic brain injury, open abdomen, burns
Sepsis
Postoperative major surgery (SICU admission expected)
Chronically critically ill Obesity in critical illnessNutrition therapy end-of-life situations
Slide13
Guidelines Recommendations are Based on the Data Derived From:
Randomized controlled trials
Nonrandomized cohort trials
Prospective observational studies
Retrospective case series
Quality of evidence ranges from very low-low-moderate-to high
Slide14
Current Guidelines Limitations
Data was obtained through December 31, 2013
Other landmark studies published after this date were not included in this guideline
Slide15
Nutrition Assessment:
Determine Nutrition Risk
for
All Patients Admitted
to the
ICU
Use NRS 2002 or NUTRIC score.
Slide16
Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS 2002)
Slide17Slide18
Nutrition Assessment (Cont.)
NRS 2002

NRS 2002 >3
High risk
NRS 2002 >/=5
NUTRIC
High risk
NUTRIC >/=5
Slide19
Nutrition Assessment:
Energy Requirement
Method
Comments
Indirect calorimetry (IC)
(Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Accuracy affected by air leaks, chest tubes, supplemental oxygen, ventilator settings, CRRT, anesthesia, PT, excessive movement.
Simplistic formula:
25-30 kcal/kg/day
Use dry or usual body weight
for normal weight patients; use IBW for obese patients.
Predictive equations
Less accurate in obese and underweight patients.
Reevaluate energy expenditure more than once per
week.
Account for dextrose-containing fluids and lipid-based
medications.
Slide20
Nutrition Assessment:
Protein Requirements
P
rotein requirements are higher than energy requirements
Provision of protein is more closely correlated with positive patient outcomes than provision of total energy
Not easily met by routine enteral formulations and patients might benefit from protein supplementation
Weight-based recommendation: 1.2-2 g/kg/day
(actual body weight
)
(Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
May be higher in burn/trauma/CRRT patients
Slide21
Nutrition Assessment:
Protein Requirements (Cont.)
Albumin
T ½ = 21 days
Indicates body protein stores
Good indicator of initial nutritional status
Not a good indicator of early protein malnutrition
Pre-albumin
T ½ = 2-3 days
Responds more rapidly to nutrition support
Reflects improvements in nutrition intake and status
Renally
eliminated
falsely elevated in ARF/CRF
Do not use
serum protein markers to determine
adequacy of
protein provision.
Slide22
Enteral Nutrition
Slide23
Enteral Nutrition
Supports structural integrity of the gut
If structural integrity compromised
Increased bacterial challenge
Risk of systemic infections
Risk of multiple-organ dysfunction
Initiate within 24-48 hours (
Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Use EN over PN (Quality of Evidence:
Low to Very
Low)
Bowel sounds and evidence of bowel function are
not required
for initiation of ENSafety data came from studies involving critically ill surgical patientsInitiate EN in the stomach, unlessHigh risk for aspiration
Not able to tolerate gastric infusion
Hold EN in hemodynamically unstable patients
Use caution in patients undergoing withdrawal of vasopressor support
Slide24
Figure 1. Early enteral nutrition (EN) vs delayed EN, mortality.
Stephen A. McClave et al. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 2016;40:159-211
Patients with low nutrition risk and low disease severity (NRS 2002 </=3 or NUTRIC </=5) do not require nutrition therapy during the first week in the ICU
Reassess daily
Patients with ARDS/acute lung injury and are on mechanical ventilation, should receive either trophic (10-20 kcal/
hr
or 10-20 ml/
hr
or up to 500 kcal/day) or full EN during the first week in the ICU
Patients at high nutrition risk (NRS 2002 >/=5 or NUTRIC >/=5) should be advanced to goal over 24-48 hours
Slide28
Monitoring Tolerance
and
Adequacy of
EN:
Daily
Tolerance
Normal physical examination
Passage of flatus and stool
Absence of pain or abdominal distension Normal radiologic evaluation
Intolerance
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Reduced passage of flatus and stool
Abdominal distensionComplaints of discomfort
Abnormal abdominal radiographs
High NG output
High gastric residual volume (GRV) >500ml/24hrs
GRV does not correlate with incidences of PNA, regurgitation, or aspiration
Not recommended to do routine GRV measurements in patients on EN
Not recommended to hold EN for GRV <500ml/24hrs in the absence of other signs of
intolerance (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
GRV 200-500ml/24hrs, need to implement measures to reduce risk of aspiration
Avoid routine use of specialty or disease-specific
formulas
E
xception:
immune-modulating formula in post-op patient in SICU setting
(Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Rationale for use of pulmonary formulas (high fat:carbohydrate ratio) “has shown to be erroneous”
Slide33
Adjunctive Therapy
Fermentable soluble fiber additive
-To be considered in all hemodynamically stable ICU patients on standard EN.
-10-20 g/24
hrs
of a fermentable soluble fiber in patients with diarrhea.
Probiotics
Recommendation cannot be made at this time with regards to routine use
across all types of ICU patients.
(Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Probiotics MOA: competitive inhibition of pathogenic bacterial growth and epithelial attachment of invasive pathogens, elimination of pathogenic toxins, enhancement of intestinal epithelial barrier, favorable modulation of host inflammatory response.
Documented safety and outcome benefit in selective patient populations: liver transplantation, trauma, pancreatectomy.
Antioxidant vitamins and trace minerals
-To be provided in patients with burns, trauma, and on mechanical ventilation. (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Slide34
Parenteral Nutrition
Slide35
When to Use PN
Patient
at low nutritional risk
(NRS 2002 </=3 or NUTRIC score </=5)
If early EN not
feasible, recommend to withhold PN over the first 7 days following ICU admission, unless PN dependent.
(Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Patient
at high nutritional risk
(NRS 2002 >/=5 or NUTRIC score >/=5) or severely malnourished
If early EN not
feasible, recommend to initiate PN as soon as possible following ICU admission.
In patients at low or high nutrition risk who are on EN but unable to meet >60% of energy and protein requirements, recommend use of supplemental PN after 7-10 days. Once patient is able to receive >60% of their goal via EN, recommend to d/c PN.
Slide36
Risks Associated with PN
Slide37
Risk Factors for Refeeding Syndrome
Advance to goal over 3-4 days.
Slide38
How to Maximize Efficacy of PN in High Risk/Severely Malnourished Patients
During first week (Quality of Evidence: Low)
H
ypocaloric PN: </=20 kcal/kg/day or 80% of estimated energy
Adequate protein: >/= 1.2 g/kg/day
Once patient is stable, advance to 100% of estimated goal
Withhold or limit soy-based IV fat emulsion during the first week of PN to maximum of 100 g/
wk
(divided in 2 doses/wk) if there is concern for essential fatty acid deficiency (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Target BG 140 or 150-180 mg/
dL
Slide39
EN/PN Recommendations
for
Organ Dysfunctions
Slide40
Organ Dysfunctions
Pulmonary failure
-Do not
recommend
use
of high-fat/low CHO formulations to reduce CO2 production in patients with acute respiratory failure.
(Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
-Avoid rapid
infusion of IVFE.
-Use fluid-restricted energy-dense EN formulations.
-Close serum phosphate monitoring and appropriate replacement.
Renal failure
(AKI/ARF)
-Use standard enteral formulation.
-Energy provision: 25-30 kcal/kg/day.
-Protein
provision: 1.2-2 g/kg/day
(actual body weight);
up to 2.5 g/kg/day if on HD or CRRT (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
.
-Consider specialty formulations (low in phosphate and potassium) with appropriate electrolyte profile.
Slide41
Organ
Dysfunctions (Cont.)
Hepatic failure
(cirrhosis)
-Use dry weight or usual weight to determine energy and protein requirements.
-
Avoid
restricting protein.
-EN is preferred route.
-Use standard EN formulation (there is
no evidence of benefit of branched-chain amino acids
formulations on coma grade in patients with encephalopathy).
Acute pancreatitis
Mild pancreatitis:
specialized nutrition is not recommended;
advance to oral diet as tolerated.
If not able to advance to oral diet within 7 days, then consider specialized nutrition. (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Moderate to severe pancreatitis:
start EN (preferred over PN) at a low-volume rate within 24-48
hrs
of admission and advance to goal as tolerated. (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Consider use of probiotics with severe pancreatitis in patients on EN. (Quality of Evidence: Low)
If EN not feasible, use PN after 1 week from the onset of symptoms.

of injury with high protein. (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
-Energy requirements: 20-35 kcal/kg/day. Less energy in early phase and more energy in rehabilitation phase.
-Protein requirements: 1.2-2 g/kg/day, target higher end of range.
-In severe trauma: consider immune-modulating formulations. (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Traumatic brain injury
-Early
EN within 24-48
hrs
of injury. (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
-Energy requirements: vary depending on use of paralytics and/or coma-inducing agents.
-Protein requirements: 1.5-2.5 g/kg/day.
-Suggest arginine-containing immune-modulating formulation or EPA/DHA supplement with EN formulation.
Slide46
Surgical Subsets
Open abdomen
-Early
EN within 24-48
hrs
post-injury in the absence of a bowel injury.
-Determine energy needs similar to other patients in surgical or trauma ICU.
-Protein requirements: suggest additional 15-30 g of protein/liter of exudate lost.
Burns
-EN should be provided if GI tract is functional
and be initiated within 4-6
hrs
of injury.
-PN reserved if EN not feasible or not tolerated.
-Suggest IC
to assess energy needs, repeat weekly.
-Protein requirements: 1.5-2 g/kg/day.
Slide47
Sepsis
EN to be initiated within 24-48
hrs
of diagnosis of severe sepsis/septic shock as soon as resuscitation is complete and patient is hemodynamically stable
Hemodynamically stable: adequate perfusion pressure, stable doses of vasoactive drugs, stabilized or decreasing levels of lactate and metabolic acidosis, MAP >/=60 mmHg
Regardless of patients’ nutrition risk,
do not recommend
use of exclusive PN or supplemental PN in conjunction with EN early in the acute phase of severe sepsis/septic shock (Quality of Evidence: Very Low)
Energy requirements: up to 500 kcal/day during first 24-48
hrs
of initial phase, then advance to >80% of goal energy (25 kcal/kg/day) over the first week
Protein requirements: 1.2-2 g/kg/day
Cannot make recommendation regarding selenium, zinc, and antioxidant supplementation due to conflicting results
Slide48
Postoperative Major Surgery
(SICU Admission Expected)
Provide EN within 24
hrs
postoperatively
Exceptions:
GI obstruction, bowel discontinuity, increased risk of bowel ischemia, ongoing peritonitis
Recommend immune-modulating formulas for post-op patients on EN
EN is suggested in patients with prolonged ileus, intestinal anastomosis, open abdomen, on vasopressors (Quality of Evidence: Low to Very Low)
In patients s/p major upper GI surgery and
EN not
feasible, initiate PN only if duration of therapy is anticipated >/=7 days and be initiated post-op day 5-7
Exception:
in patients at high nutrition risk may initiate it earlierPost-op diet to be advanced to solid food and not clear liquids
Slide49
Chronically Critically Ill
Persistent organ dysfunction requiring ICU LOS >21 days
“Persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome”
Recommend
Aggressive high-protein EN therapy
Glycemic control
Slide50
Obesity in Critical Illness
EN within 24-48
hrs
of ICU admission
Determine actual, usual, and ideal weight
Adjusted body weight is not recommended
Calculate BMI, identify class of obesity, measure waist circumference (if possible)
Evaluate biomarkers of metabolic syndrome: BG, TG, cholesterol
Assess preexisting conditionsIn patients with history of bariatric surgery, supplement thiamine prior to initiating dextrose-containing IV fluids or nutrition therapy
