AGENDA

I. Identifying Malnourished Patients Across Settings
II. Optimal Nutrition Support: Focus on Protein
III. Available and Emerging Products to Address Lipid Needs
IV. Use of Indirect Calorimetry in Nutritional Therapy

GOAL

The nutritional needs of critically ill patients during hospitalization and after discharge are complex, and the importance of assessing energy expenditure and tailoring nutritional therapies to the individual is increasingly apparent. Although a great deal of study is still needed, accumulating data on the provision of energy and protein continue to inform clinical practice. This activity will provide the nutrition support team with up-to-date knowledge on the latest clinical data and practical application in diverse patients to reduce malnutrition, morbidity, and mortality in hospital settings.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this program, participants should be better able to:

• Explain how to measure energy expenditure in critically ill patients to determine requirements for energy intake and optimize nutrition support
• Discuss protein requirements and optimize nutrition support for patients in varied settings
• Compare and contrast newly available and emerging macronutrient parenteral nutrition products, and describe how these new products can aid in improving nutrition therapy for patients in different settings
