Nutrition delivery and the relationship with changes in muscle mass in adult patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A retrospective observational study. Aust Crit Care 2024; 37:727-733. [PMID: 38637220 DOI: 10.1016/j.aucc.2024.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adverse changes in muscle health (size and quality) are common in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Nutrition delivery may attenuate such changes, yet the relationship with muscle health remains poorly understood. This study explored the association between energy and protein delivery and changes in muscle health measured using ultrasound from baseline to day 10 and 20 in patients receiving ECMO. METHODS A secondary analysis of data from a prospective study quantifying changes in muscle health using ultrasound in adults receiving ECMO was completed. Patients were eligible for inclusion if they were prescribed artificial nutrition within 3 days of enrolment and had >1 ultrasound measurement. The primary outcome was the association between protein delivery (grams delivered and percentage of targets received) and change in rectus femoris cross-sectional area (RF-CSA) till day 20. Secondary outcomes were the association between energy and protein delivery and change in RF-CSA till day 10, RF-echogenicity, and quadriceps muscle layer thickness to day 10 and 20. Associations were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation. RESULTS Twenty-three patients (age: 48 [standard deviation {SD}: 14], 44% male) were included. Mean energy and protein delivery were 1633 kcal (SD: 374 kcal) and 70 g (SD: 17 g) equating to 79% (SD: 19%) of energy and 73% (SD: 17%) of protein targets. No association was observed between protein delivery (r = 0.167; p = 0.495) or the percentage of targets received (r = 0.096; p = 0.694) and change in RF-CSA till day 20. No other significant associations were found between energy or protein delivery and change in RF-CSA, echogenicity, or quadriceps muscle layer thickness at any time point. CONCLUSIONS This exploratory study observed no association between nutrition delivery and changes in muscle health measured using ultrasound in patients receiving ECMO. Larger prospective studies are required to investigate the association between nutrition delivery and changes in muscle health in patients receiving ECMO.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is characterized by tissue hypoperfusion due to the inadequate cardiac output to maintain the tissue oxygen demand. Despite some advances in cardiogenic shock management, extremely high mortality is still associated with this clinical syndrome. Its management is based on the immediate stabilization of hemodynamic parameters through medical care and the use of mechanical circulatory supports in specialized centers. This review aims to understand the cardiogenic shock current medical treatment, consisting mainly of inotropic drugs, vasopressors and coronary revascularization. In addition, we highlight the relevance of applying measures to other organ levels based on the optimization of mechanical ventilation and the appropriate initiation of renal replacement therapy.

Abstract
Optimal care of critically ill patients in the cardiac intensive care unit includes adequate nutritional support. This review highlights the high prevalence of malnutrition in acute heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, cardiogenic shock, and post-cardiac arrest and its adverse impact on prognosis. There is a lack of robust evidence regarding appropriate nutritional support in this patient population. Initiation of nutritional support with a comprehensive assessment of the patient's nutritional status is critical. High-risk cardiac patients who are not critically ill can receive oral nutrition adapted to individual risk factors or deficiencies, although overfeeding should be avoided in the acute phase. For critically ill patients at risk of or with malnutrition on admission, general principles include initiation of nutritional support within 48 h of admission, preference for enteral over parenteral nutrition, preference for hypocaloric nutrition in the first week of intensive care unit admission, and adequate micronutrient supplementation. Enteral nutrition in haemodynamically unstable patients carries a risk, albeit low, of intestinal ischaemia. In the case of malnutrition, the risk of refeeding syndrome should always be considered.

Abstract
Monitoring the patient receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is challenging due to the complex physiological interplay between native and membrane lung. Understanding these interactions is essential to understand the utility and limitations of different approaches to respiratory monitoring during ECMO. We present a summary of the underlying physiology of native and membrane lung gas exchange and describe different tools for titrating and monitoring gas exchange during ECMO. However, the most important role of VV ECMO in severe respiratory failure is as a means of avoiding further ergotrauma. Although optimal respiratory management during ECMO has not been defined, over the last decade there have been advances in multimodal respiratory assessment which have the potential to guide care. We describe a combination of imaging, ventilator-derived or invasive lung mechanic assessments as a means to individualise management during ECMO.

In critically ill adult patients with COVID-19, lower energy and higher protein intake are associated with fewer mechanical ventilation and antibiotic days but not with ICU length of stay. Nutr Clin Pract 2023; 38:1368-1378. [PMID: 37302065 DOI: 10.1002/ncp.11019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) nutrition management guidelines recommend hypocaloric, high-protein feeding in the acute phase of critical illness. This study aimed to determine, among critically ill adults with COVID-19, whether nutrition support affects outcomes in nonobese patients when providing a mean energy intake of ≥20 kcal/kg/day vs <20 kcal/kg/day and protein intake of ≥1.2 g/kg/day vs <1.2 g/kg/day, using actual body weight, and in patients with obesity when providing ≥20 kcal/kg/day vs <20 kcal/kg/day and a protein intake of ≥2 g/kg/day vs <2 g/kg/day using ideal body weight. METHODS This retrospective study included adults with COVID-19 on mechanical ventilation (MV) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) from 2020 to 2021. Clinical and nutrition parameters were recorded the first 14 days of ICU stay. RESULTS One hundred four patients were included: 79 (75.96%) were male and had a median age of 51 years and body mass index of 29.65 kg/m2 . ICU length of stay (LOS) was not affected by nutrition intake, but patients receiving <20 kcal/kg/day had fewer MV days (P = 0.029). In a subgroup analysis, MV days were lower in the nonobese group receiving <20 kcal/kg/day (P = 0.012). In the obese group, those receiving higher protein intake had fewer antibiotic days (P = 0.013). CONCLUSION In critically ill patients with COVID-19, lower energy and higher protein intake were respectively associated with fewer MV days and, in patients with obesity, fewer antibiotic days, but they had no effect on ICU LOS.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to develop an evidence-based extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) nursing protocol for critically ill patients receiving ECMO treatment by using an adaptation process, and to verify the effects of the protocol. METHODS The protocol was developed according to the adaptation guidelines. A non-randomized controlled trial was conducted to test the protocol's effects. Data were collected between April 2019 and March 2021. The differences in physiological indicators and complication rates between the two groups were investigated using a chart review to evaluate patient outcomes. The nurses' outcome variables were evaluated using a questionnaire. RESULTS First, after reviewing 11 guidelines by appraisal of the guidelines for research and evaluation collaboration II, 5 guidelines with a standardization grade of over 50 points were selected. An ECMO nursing protocol was developed based on these guidelines. Second, there were no statistically significant differences in physiological indicators between the two groups of patients. However, the experimental group showed a statistically significant decrease in the infection rate (p = .026) and pressure injury rates (p = .041). The levels of satisfaction with ECMO nursing care, and empowerment and performance of the nurses who used the ECMO nursing protocol were higher than those of nurses who did not (p < .001). CONCLUSION This protocol may help prevent infections and pressure injuries in patients, and improve nurses' satisfaction and empowerment. The nursing protocol developed for critically ill patients receiving ECMO treatment can be utilized in evidence-based nursing practice.

Abstract
Adequate nutritional support is crucial in preventing complications and improving outcomes in critically ill patients. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a mode of supportive care for patients with respiratory and/or cardiac failure. ECMO patients frequently exhibit a hypermetabolic state characterized by protein catabolism and insulin resistance, which can lead to malnutrition. Nutritional therapy is a vital component of intensive care, but its optimal administration for ECMO patients is unknown. This case report aims to provide insights into effective nutritional management for critically ill patients undergoing ECMO therapy. The patient was a 72-year-old male with a history of gastric and lung cancer who underwent a lobectomy complicated by bronchopleural fistula, postoperative bleeding, pneumonia, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The patient's nutritional status was assessed indicating a high risk of malnutrition, using the modified Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill (mNUTRIC) Score. Nutritional support was administered based on the recommendations of European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), with energy requirements set at 25-30 kcal/kg/d and protein requirements set at 1.2-2.0 g/kg/day. The patient received parenteral nutrition until the enteral nutrition target amount was reached, with zinc supplements for wound healing. The study highlights the need for further research on proactive and effective nutritional support for ECMO patients to improve compliance and prognosis.

Abstract
Patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) inherit substantial disease-associated metabolic, endocrinologic, and immunologic modifications. Along with the technical components of ECMO, the aforementioned alterations may affect patients' needs and feasibility of adequate macronutrient and micronutrient supply and intake. Thus, patients receiving ECMO are at increased risk for iatrogenic malnutrition and require targeted individual medical nutrition therapy (MNT). However, specific recommendations for MNT in patients receiving ECMO are limited and, with some exceptions, based on an evidence base encompassing general patients who are critically ill. Consequently, clinician decision-making for MNT in patients receiving ECMO is unguided, which may further increase nutrition risk, culminating in iatrogenic malnutrition and ultimately affecting patient outcomes. The purpose of this article is to provide educational background and highlight specific points for MNT in adult patients receiving ECMO, which might serve as evidence-based guidance to develop institutional standard operating procedures and nutrition protocols for daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current literature, recommendations, and practice guidelines on the nutritional management of and implications associated with COVID-19 infection. Recent Findings Particular attention should be paid to the screening, prevention, and treatment of malnutrition in critically ill individuals with COVID-19 infection given the significant risk for complications and poor outcomes. Extrapolation of existing literature for the nutritional support in the critically ill patient has demonstrated early enteral nutrition is safe and well-tolerated in patients with severe COVID-19 infection. Summary Futures studies should focus on the long-term nutritional outcomes for patients who have suffered COVID-19 infection, nutritional outcomes/recommendations for special populations with COVID-19, nutritional outcomes based on the current recommendations and guidelines for nutrition therapy, and the role for micronutrient supplementation in COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate whether a phased multidimensional intervention bundle would decrease the mortality of patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and the complication incidence. Materials and methods We conducted a prospective observational study in comparison with a retrospective control group in six intensive care units (ICUs) in China. Patients older than 18 years supported with ECMO between March 2018 to March 2022 were included in the study. A phased intervention bundle to improve the outcome of patients with ECMO was developed and implemented. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to compare the mortality of patients with ECMO and the complication incidence before, during, and up to 18 months after implementation of the intervention bundle. Results The cohort included 297 patients in 6 ICUs, mostly VA ECMO (68.7%) with a median (25th–75th percentile) duration in ECMO of 9.0 (4.0–15.0) days. The mean (SD) APECHII score was 24.1 (7.5). Overall, the mortality of ECMO decreased from 57.1% at baseline to 21.8% at 13–18 months after implementation of the study intervention (P < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, even after excluding the confounding factors, such as age, APECHII score, pre-ECMO lactate, and incidence of CRRT during ECMO, the intervention bundle still can decrease the mortality independently, which also remained true in the statistical analysis of V-V and V-A ECMO separately. Among all the ECMO-related complications, the incidence of bloodstream infection and bleeding decreased significantly at 13–18 months after implementation compared with the baseline. The CUSUM analysis revealed a typical learning curve with a point of inflection during the implementation of the bundle. Conclusion A phased multidimensional intervention bundle resulted in a large and sustained reduction in the mortality of ECMO that was maintained throughout the 18-month study period.

Abstract
DISCLAIMER This guideline is intended for educational use to build the knowledge of physicians and other health professionals in assessing the conditions and managing the treatment of patients undergoing extracorporeal life support (ECLS)/extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and describe what are believed to be useful and safe practice for extracorporeal life support (ECLS, ECMO) but these are not necessarily consensus recommendations. The aim of clinical guidelines are to help clinicians to make informed decisions about their patients. However, adherence to a guideline does not guarantee a successful outcome. Ultimately, healthcare professionals must make their own treatment decisions about care on a case-by-case basis, after consultation with their patients, using their clinical judgment, knowledge, and expertise. These guidelines do not take the place of physicians' and other health professionals' judgment in diagnosing and treatment of particular patients. These guidelines are not intended to and should not be interpreted as setting a standard of care or be deemed inclusive of all proper methods of care nor exclusive of other methods of care reasonably directed to obtaining the same results. The ultimate judgment must be made by the physician and other health professionals and the patient in light of all the circumstances presented by the individual patient, and the known variability and biologic behavior of the clinical condition. These guidelines reflect the data at the time the guidelines were prepared; the results of subsequent studies or other information may cause revisions to the recommendations in these guidelines to be prudent to reflect new data, but Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) is under no obligation to provide updates. In no event will ELSO be liable for any decision made or action taken in reliance upon the information provided through these guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to 1) in patients without pulmonary function, determine resting energy expenditure (REE) in venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients by paralysis status and 2) determine the threshold tidal volume (TV) associated with meaningful gas exchange as determined by measurable end-tidal carbon dioxide elimination (etV̇co2). DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING A tertiary high ECMO volume academic institution. PATIENTS/SUBJECTS Ten adult ARDS patients on venovenous ECMO. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The modified Weir equation, Fick principle, Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, ECMO flow, hemoglobin, and pre and post oxygenator blood gases were used to determine ECMO carbon dioxide production (V̇co2), ECMO oxygen consumption, and REE. REE values were matched to patients' paralysis status based on medication flowsheets and compared using a paired t test. Linear regression was performed to determine the threshold TV normalized to ideal body weight (IBW) associated with measurable ventilator etV̇co2, above which meaningful ventilation occurs. When lungs were not functioning, patients had significantly lower mean REE when paralyzed (23.4 ± 2.8 kcal/kg/d) than when not paralyzed (29.2 ± 5.8 kcal/kg/d) (p = 0.02). Furthermore, mean REE was not similar between patients and varied as much as 1.7 times between patients when paralyzed and as much as 1.4 times when not paralyzed. Linear regression showed that ventilator V̇co2 was measurable and increased linearly when TV was greater than or equal to 0.7 mL/kg. CONCLUSIONS REE is patient-specific and varies significantly with and without patient paralysis. When TV exceeds 0.7 mL/kg IBW, ventilator V̇co2 increases measurably and must be considered in determining total REE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS), either for respiratory or cardiac support, are at high risk of malnutrition; guidelines on nutrition in critical care have not incorporated solid evidence regarding these settings. The aim of this narrative review is to gather the available evidence in the existing literature and transpose general principles to the ECLS population. METHODS A literature review of observational and interventional studies on nutrition during ECLS, and evaluation of nutrition guidelines in this perspective. RESULTS Nutrition is paramount for improving outcomes in ECLS, as well as in critically ill patients. The caloric needs during ECLS can vary according to the severity of the clinical state, sedation, paralysis, and temperature stability. Precise evaluation of energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry is difficult because ECLS is a system dedicated to removing carbon dioxide; however, modified equations composed of carbon dioxide values taken from the membrane lung are available. Guidelines suggest starting early enteral nutrition (EN) with a hypocaloric (70%-80% of the needs) strategy, also in acute states such as septic or cardiogenic shock. Moreover, EN, despite previous concerns, is feasible in prone position, an increasingly adopted strategy during mechanical ventilation. The catabolic state is maximal in these patients, causing a protein and muscular reduction. Therefore, adequate protein delivery should be guaranteed by administering a high protein intake of up to 2 g/kg/day. CONCLUSIONS Studies on nutrition tailored to ECLS patients are warranted. Early hypocaloric EN with high protein intake, tailored on indirect calorimetry, may be the most appropriate option.

Abstract
Although the rate of lung transplantation (LTx), the last treatment option for end-stage lung disease, is increasing, some patients waiting for LTx need a bridging strategy for LTx due to the limited number of available donor lungs. For a long time, mechanical ventilation has been employed as a bridge to LTx because the outcome of using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridging strategy has been poor. However, the outcome after mechanical ventilation as a bridge to LTx was poor compared with that in patients without bridges. With advances in technology and the accumulation of experience, the outcome of ECMO as a bridge to LTx has improved, and the rate of ECMO use as a bridging strategy has increased over time. However, whether the use of ECMO as a bridge to LTx can achieve survival rates similar to those of non-bridged LTx patients remains controversial. In 2010, one center introduced awake ECMO strategy for LTx bridging, and its use as a bridge to LTx has been showing favorable outcomes to date. Awake ECMO has several advantages, such as maintenance of physical activity, spontaneous breathing, avoidance of endotracheal intubation, and reduced use of sedatives and analgesics, but it may cause serious problems. Nonetheless, several studies have shown that awake ECMO performed by a multidisciplinary team is safe. In cases where ECMO or mechanical ventilation is required due to unavoidable exacerbation in patients awaiting LTx, the application of awake ECMO performed by an appropriately trained ECMO multi-disciplinary team can be useful.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the safety of enteral nutrition (EN) in children on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). To describe nutritional status and the characteristics of the nutritional support in this population. METHODS A retrospective single-center analysis (2006-2016) including children <18 years on ECMO. Demographic data, nutritional status, characteristics of nutritional support, and development of gastrointestinal (GI) complications were recorded. RESULTS One hundred children, with a median age of 9.7 months (interquartile range [IQR] 3.9-63.1) were enrolled. Undernutrition was prevalent among children on ECMO (33.3%) mainly in patients <2 years (P = 0.042). Most patients (64%) received EN at some point during ECMO therapy. EN was administered in the first 48 hours after ECMO initiation (48HEN) to 60.3% of the children.Mortality rate in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit was lower in patients who received EN as the initial artificial nutrition support (ANS) (37.7 vs 51%, P = 0.005) and in children on 48HEN (34% vs 50%, P = 0.04). In the logistic regression analysis, duration of ECMO support and low cardiac output indication were the only factors associated with mortality.Although most patients on ECMO (45%) developed digestive complications, they were mostly mild, being constipation the most prevalent. In the logistic regression analysis, EN was not associated with an increase in GI complications (P = 0.09). Only three patients developed intestinal ischemia (one without EN and two on EN). CONCLUSIONS Undernutrition is prevalent among children on ECMO, mainly in infants <2 years. EN is not associated with severe gastrointestinal complications or higher mortality in these children.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:765424. [PMID: 34938748 PMCID: PMC8685379 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.765424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Enteral nutrition (EN) is recommended within the first 24-48 h for patients with hemodynamic stability, following admission to an intensive care unit (ICU). However, for patients with approximate stable hemodynamics requiring mechanical circulatory support and vasoactive drugs, the application of early EN remains controversial. We sought to evaluate the tolerance of early EN in patients with cardiogenic shock who required vasoactive drugs and mechanical circulatory support after cardiac surgery. Methods: This single-center, prospective observational study included patients with cardiogenic shock, requiring vasoactive drugs and mechanical circulatory support after cardiac surgery, undergoing EN. The primary endpoint was EN tolerance and secondary endpoints were mortality, length of mechanical ventilation, and length of ICU stay. Results: From February 2019 to December 2020, 59 patients were enrolled, of which 25 (42.37%) developed intolerance within 3 days of starting EN. Patients in the EN intolerant group had a longer median length of mechanical ventilation (380 vs. 128 h, p = 0.006), a longer median ICU stay (20 vs. 11.5 days, p = 0.03), and a higher proportion of bloodstream infections (44 vs. 14.71%, p = 0.018). The median EN calorie levels for all patients in the first 3 days of EN were 4.00, 4.13, and 4.28 kcal/kg/day, respectively. Median protein intake levels of EN in the first 3 days were 0.18, 0.17, and 0.17 g/kg/day, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the median dose of vasoactive drugs between the groups (0.035 vs. 0.05 μg/kg/min, p = 0.306). Conclusions: Patients with cardiogenic shock after cardiac surgery had a high proportion of early EN intolerance, and patients with EN intolerance had a worse prognosis, but no significant correlation was identified between EN tolerance and the dose of vasoactive drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Current guidelines consider obesity to be a relative contraindication to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for refractory cardiogenic shock. The authors investigated the effect of body mass index (BMI) on clinical outcomes in patients treated with VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock. DESIGN This was a retrospective and observational study. SETTING University hospital. PARTICIPANTS The study comprised 150 adult patients who underwent VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. Of the 150 included patients, 10 were underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m²), 62 were normal weight (BMI = 18.5-24.9 kg/m²), 34 were overweight (BMI = 25.0-29.9 kg/m²), 34 were obese class I (BMI = 30.0-34.9 kg/m²), and 10 were obese class II (BMI = 35.0-39.9 kg/m²). All-cause ICU mortality was 62% (underweight, 70%; normal weight, 53%; overweight, 65%; class I obese, 71%; class II obese, 70%). After multivariate logistic regression, BMI was not associated with ICU mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.99 [0.92-1.07], p = 0.8). Analysis by BMI category showed unfavorable mortality trends in underweight patients (aOR 3.58 [0.82-19.6], p = 0.11) and class I obese patients (aOR 2.39 [0.95-6.38], p = 0.07). No statistically significant differences were found among BMI categories in the incidences of complications. CONCLUSION The results suggested that BMI alone should not be considered an exclusion criterion for VA-ECMO. The unfavorable trend observed in underweight patients could be the result of malnutrition.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is increasingly utilized in quaternary pediatric intensive care units. Metabolic derangements and altered nutritional requirements are common in critically ill children supported on ECMO. However, there remains no consensus on the optimal approach to the prescription of nutrition in these patients. This narrative review aims to summarize the current medical literature on various aspects of nutrition support in pediatric patients on ECMO. These include: (1) nutritional adequacy, (2) pros and cons of feeding on ECMO, (3) enteral vs. parenteral nutrition, and (4) proposed recommendations and future directions for research in this area.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been recommended as an effective rescue therapy for select critically ill patients with COVID-19. This case report describes a first experience caring for a patient with COVID-19 who received venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and expands the literature by discussing relevant nursing management and operational considerations. CLINICAL FINDINGS A 46-year-old man presented to a hospital emergency department with pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, anorexia, and chills. The patient was intubated for pneumonia-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome. DIAGNOSIS A nasopharyngeal swab specimen was positive for SARS-CoV-2, and chest radiography confirmed a diagnosis of COVID-19 with acute respiratory distress syndrome. INTERVENTIONS After no improvement with mechanical ventilation and prone positioning, the patient began receiving venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and was transferred to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation center. Frontline critical care nurses played a vital role in coordinating patient care activities, monitoring changes in the patient's condition, and detecting complications early. OUTCOMES The patient was decannulated on day 15 and extubated on day 17. The patient was successfully discharged home on hospital day 24. CONCLUSION Caring for a patient with COVID-19 receiving venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation posed unprecedented challenges that required deviations from standards of care to optimize infection control measures and staff safety while providing quality care. This case report may inform, prepare, and guide other critical care nurses who will be caring for similar patients during this pandemic.

Abstract
Worldwide, as of July 2020, >13.2 million people have been infected by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. The spectrum of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ranges from mild illness to critical illness in 5% of cases. The population infected with SARS-CoV-2 requiring an intensive care unit admission often requires nutrition therapy as part of supportive care. Although the various societal guidelines for critical care nutrition meet most needs for the patient with COVID-19, numerous factors, which impact the application of those guideline recommendations, need to be considered. Since the SARS-CoV-2 virus is highly contagious, several key principles should be considered when caring for all patients with COVID-19 to ensure the safety of all healthcare personnel involved. Management strategies should cluster care, making all attempts to bundle patient care to limit exposure. Healthcare providers should be protected, and the spread of SARS-CoV-2 should be limited by minimizing procedures and other interventions that lead to aerosolization, avoiding droplet exposure through hand hygiene and use of personal protective equipment (PPE). PPE should be preserved by decreasing the number of individuals providing direct patient care and by limiting the number of patient interactions. Enteral nutrition (EN) is tolerated by the majority of patients with COVID-19, but a relatively low threshold for conversion to parenteral nutrition should be maintained if increased exposure to the virus is required to continue EN. This article offers relevant and practical recommendations on how to optimize nutrition therapy in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
In the midst of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a paucity of data precludes derivation of COVID-19-specific recommendations for nutrition therapy. Until more data are available, focus must be centered on principles of critical care nutrition modified for the constraints of this disease process, ie, COVID-19-relevant recommendations. Delivery of nutrition therapy must include strategies to reduce exposure and spread of disease by providing clustered care, adequate protection of healthcare providers, and preservation of personal protective equipment. Enteral nutrition (EN) should be initiated early after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) using a standard isosmolar polymeric formula, starting at trophic doses and advancing as tolerated, while monitoring for gastrointestinal intolerance, hemodynamic instability, and metabolic derangements. Intragastric EN may be provided safely, even with use of prone-positioning and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Clinicians should have a lower threshold for switching to parenteral nutrition in cases of intolerance, high risk of aspiration, or escalating vasopressor support. Although data extrapolated from experience in acute respiratory distress syndrome warrants use of fiber additives and probiotic organisms, the lack of benefit precludes a recommendation for micronutrient supplementation. Practices that increase exposure or contamination of equipment, such as monitoring gastric residual volumes, indirect calorimetry to calculate requirements, endoscopy or fluoroscopy to achieve enteral access, or transport out of the ICU for additional imaging, should be avoided. At all times, strategies for nutrition therapy need to be assessed on a risk/benefit basis, paying attention to risk for both the patient and the healthcare provider.

Abstract
Introduction The current COVID-19 pandemic mainly affects older people, those with obesity or other coexisting chronic diseases such as type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure. It has been observed that about 20 % of patients will require hospitalization, and some of them will need the support of invasive mechanical ventilation in intensive care units. Nutritional status appears to be a relevant factor influencing the clinical outcome of critically ill patients with COVID-19. Several international guidelines have provided recommendations to ensure energy and protein intake in people with COVID-19, with safety measures to reduce the risk of infection in healthcare personnel. The purpose of this review is to analyze the main recommendations related to adequate nutritional management for critically ill patients with COVID-19 in order to improve their prognosis and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the 6000 patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) annually, there is a paucity of data regarding the nutritional management of these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a prospective, observational study of nutrition in postcardiotomy shock patients at our institution. Over a 3.5-year study period, we identified 50 ECMO patients and 225 non-ECMO patients. We identified type, amount, duration, and disruption of nutritional delivery by cohort. The primary outcome was percent of caloric goal met, and secondary outcome was gastrointestinal complications. RESULTS ECMO patients met less of their caloric (29% versus 40%, P = 0.017) and protein goals (34% versus 55%, P < 0.001) compared with non-ECMO patients. Tube feeds were administered more slowly (26 versus 37 mL/h, P < 0.001) and held for longer (8.3 versus 4.5 h/d, P < 0.001) in ECMO patients because of procedures (60%) and high-dose pressors (20% versus 7%, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that ECMO decreased caloric intake by 14%, with no detected increased risk of gastrointestinal complications. CONCLUSIONS -ECMO patients received significantly less nutrition support compared with a non-ECMO population. Tube feed hold deficits could potentially be avoided by utilizing postpyloric tubes to feed through procedures, by eliminating holds for vasopressors/inotropes in hemodynamically stable patients, or by establishing volume-based feeding protocols. Further clinical studies are needed to establish efficacy of these interventions and to understand the impact of nutrition on outcomes in ECMO patients.
