Patients undergoing critical illness are at significant risk of negative outcomes. Identifying patients who are at greatest nutrition risk, and therefore more likely to benefit from nutrition intervention, is essential. Nutrition decision making should be guided by best practice guidelines including those published in 2016 by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and the Society for Critical Care Medicine. These evidence- and consensus-based practice recommendations will be highlighted during this session and will include approaches for practical implementation. In addition, recent critical care nutrition research will be highlighted.

Learning Objectives

After attending this session, nutrition professionals should be able to:

  1. Outline essential components of nutrition screening and assessment in the critically ill patient.
  2. Discuss practical implementation of key recommendations included in the 2016 American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition/Society of Critical Care Medicine nutrition care guidelines for critically ill patients.
  3. Apply selected guideline recommendations using a case-based approach.
